Actual rating: 4.5 stars.
I loved this book! From the description I was already expecting great things - a YA contemporary set at a prestige private school which tackles themes of toxic masculinity and rape. It definitely lived up to my expectations. The difficult topics were handled in a very sensitive and understanding way, and I thought Quinn’s portrayal was very realistic and I sympathised greatly with her. I enjoyed all three character’s perspectives, as they each gave different viewpoints of the toxic male environment, including from someone getting dragged into participating in it. I also loved the friendships between the girls in this novel and how they looked out for each other and all worked together to help Quinn, the victim. I loved this book from start to finish and its themes of revenge and justice. The characters were all very believable and the book was very fast-paced and kept me interested the whole way through.
