MY REVIEW
So someone on social media was talking about the amazing earth shattering plot twist at the end and I was like I want this book. I started reading it on Kindle Unlimited soon after. I found the goodreads ratings to be low of this book but I thought let’s give it a chance.

Anyway I started reading it and I was reading it with a critical and skeptical eye. There is a girl who burns a house and confess to her crime and goes to jail but came out on bail only to be sent to a boarding school for criminals education. She was pretty unimpressed by her teachers and fellow students who behave strangely at times and to be honest so was I. But I kept reading and it was slow at start then nothing was happening…..same school routine until all of a sudden last chapters came and I was like…….WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

I have to say I was underestimating the potential. the end was an absolute best crescendo to the slow beginning. It was like author was preparing her readers to be as un-impressed as possible only to drop a bomb at the end. It was the best thing I ever experienced. i love a book that is unpredictable like that. I could not imagine ever that this was going to happen.

And when you reach that ending everything you read before started making sense. And I read the book again after that ending 😅. On the whole this book is a 5 star from me. It was perfect.
