TLDR: if Skins UK went to Nevermoore Academy, but intense STEM research instead of magic, and was narrated by Susanna Kayson in Girl Interrupted? The entire book feels like you’re coming off of benzos.
It lost the plot and was just ~vibes~ from about halfway to 3/4ths, but then picked back up again. The ending reminded me a little bit of the mecha refugees in “Alibrijes”, and it left on the kind of cliffhanger where you know there’s going to be a sequel.
