This book hadn't really been on my radar but I am so glad to have read it.

When I saw that there was a prestigious academy for boys I did a little internal groan because usually that is not my cup of tea. I enjoyed that there was definite ways that class bubbled into their lives with Gansey and Adam being the best examples. It was not just a tale of boys doing things with enormous amounts of disposable income - although that did happen once or twice. My girl Blue also recognized from a young age that she was different but I did not see her fall into the ~not like othER girLS~ trap that sometimes happens.

Look, I already know we have a love triangle coming our way and I've braced for impact on that one. However at some points of this book I was like... is this meant to be queer? Is this how I'm supposed to interpret this exchange?

Can't wait to read the next one!
