I have to remind myself that the MC found their deceased cousin just days ago when they constantly accuse the three of murdering him. I can sympathise that she's grasping at straws to get answers. It is frustrating though. She really LEAPS. She is embarrassingly dense, especially because of how arrogant she is about it too.
I definitely disliked the main character, I found her massively unlikable, unreliable and she was just arrogantly stupid the whole way through. The two boys are insta obsessed with her and it doesn't really feel justified. That being said, I'm certainly not rating the book lower for this reason, there are many great books where you can dislike or hate the main character. I just hope this was how the reader was supposed to feel about Jamie.

I think it could have been made a lot shorter, some of her thoughts are a bit redundant about the boys and Sam. A lot of waffling on about dark broody thoughts. It got old before I got half way. I think this book overall is good and would be great if it was consensed. Too much is happening and a lot could be taken out without missing it.

It frustrated me how a small answer is given sometimes regarding the death of her cousin and she just takes that first response and leaves. The chapter ends. No follow up questions, no asking them to elaborate, when this definitely needs elaboration! She knows who she wants to blame and only wants to hear the words she can use to continue that belief.

All the secrets, refusing to answer (or ask) important questions, arguments and beating around the bush started to get really old and I just started to get annoyed.

It's like a gothic horror/romance but the further along you go it tries too hard and it turns more into melodramatic emo kids and once I started feeling that way I couldn't take it as seriously. I feel like this needed to tone it down a little.

I am also confused about how this school functions overall, especially with such a small number of students. You only really know about 4 other students in the school and there are no rules about boys and girls sharing dorms. No one seems to care that there is alcohol and drugs all over the school.

This book did not deliver

I really liked the premise and the beginning of the book, especially any mention of Medea and "They're bad, she's worse," but since like 40% it went down pretty quickly

At first I was hooked there was murder mystery, some paranormal things going on, complicated relationships, rich school full of secrets, but in the middle it just got messy and sloppy and I was so fed up and tired of all the characters and the plot was completely lost that I just wanted it all to end one way or another

It's kind of a weird fiction like a bunny, so maybe if you like this vibe you'll like it more, but my biggest problem is - i actually fully predicted the whole ending by about 20% and I'm not even kidding, i knew everything from what happened to her cousin, who's gonna 💀 too, how it's going to be resolved, what's with weird mirrors and her ending, I'm a prophet!!! i prophecy !!! cus no way it was that easy like bffr

the characters were annoying and their only personality trait was that they're rich and pretentious, can't say more about them,
oh, and the main character was the worst con artist known to humankind
