It’s a well written and explorative dystopian story about the lives of three friends who grow up together at a school shrouded in mystery and secrets, isolated from the rest of society. Through the coarse of the story more revelations are slowly revealed and it’s almost like puzzle pieces falling into place. 

It was an emotional story, but at the same time I felt very detached from it. I don’t know if it’s because the reader spend so much time without knowing what’s really happening, or because I just couldn’t connect to any of the characters because I felt that they kept so much from the reader.
