I don’t know how i made it to read 53% of it. It’s a never ending, often engulfing, mostly boring review of issues, points, and conversations that fail to be delivered in a compelling writing fashion.

Interesting read except for terrible ending with no resolution. Makes reading it a complete waste.

This book felt like a complete waste of time at the end. Really held on with hope of a conclusion and there were one.

Great book, author was phenomenal, but, Ending was disappointingly and unfortunately very realistic… made me really sad about the world we live in

This lackluster book was incredibly hard to get through. I couldn’t connect with any of the characters, and the narrator was unlikeable. The narrator’s fixation on the one teacher at the boarding school also never even developed into anything, despite her speaking to him throughout the book. I wanted to submit a rating for this book as a means of helping someone else AVOID losing the time I lost on it. Do not read.

Incomprehensible plot. Gave up one third the way in after realizing I no longer cared who did it. Wish I could return.

Loved this book for the writing itself, the suspense, the truth but most importantly, for highlighting the theme of injustice women and society at large continually allows. There is so much to think about, to consider, nuance and context galore. Yet, it is still disturbing; beyond frustrating. A story woven with the perspectives of Gen-X (mine) and a more current generation, while also considering the traps and perils of youth that may never vary, that much. I love that I’m also inspired by the progress that younger generations benefit from, the language they have, and hopefully then, the bravery to course correct for all of us and end the injustice. This was a special book.

Detailing some ills with society, from failures of the legal system, systemic support for male dominance and violence against women and implicit racial bias, all of which still exist today. The underlying unfairness of it all may hit hardest among women readers, although it should resonate with us all.

This book went absolutely nowhere.

Felt like I was walking though a marsh or quicksand most of the time.
