I really enjoyed the beginning of this book but unfortunately as the book went on I found it too wordy and it felt a little self indulgent. It's as though the author was adding content more to show her writing skills than to add to the story. In my opinion it went on far too long and I am afraid to say I found myself skipping forward to move the story along. I liked the character of Rose at the begging of the book but again as the book progressed she became self absorbed and annoying. Such a shame because I think with better editing the book could have been good.

I really wanted to love this book.

The characters are 2 dimensional. It is way too long. I skipped entire chapters .... a waste of a credit. A version of Donna Tart's The Secret History, it most definitely ain't

More suited to young adults

very well written and performed, but oh my goodness this was joyless.
covering themes of bullying, self harming and sexual violence at school this was a very hard listen.
whenever there was light at the end of the tunnel the author was quick to shoot it down with "but this was a false dawn" etc.
the fact I got to the end was testimony to good quality writing and performance but I am so glad it's over

Unremittingly bleak

I really tried to view this book dispassionately, but it is a deeply depressing, relentless story.
over the years and books I have read with Audible, sadly I have to say it is the worst. I am sure there will be lots of readers who will enjoy the story. sadly not for me

Deeply depressing book

This book is billed as like the secret history it’s more like a little life set in a school. The bullying is too much for me brutal, aggressive gratuitous. It’s about friendship and mental health, which are the only redeeming features.

Wow this book is traumatising
