pickA fun read. A podcaster returns to teach a class, at the fancy boarding school of her childhood where she was an outsider and her once roommate was murdered. Reads like a mystery, layered with interesting takes on the #metoo movement and grooming, collective memory, race and privilege, the exploitative nature of true crime, wrongful imprisonment and so much more. Sharp and nuanced, I found the ending unsatisfying but all the more realistic for it.

AmyG I expected the ending….it‘s the way the world works, sadly. 2y
squirrelbrain Great review - and yes, I kind of expected the ending too @AmyG but I‘ve read a *lot* of books recently with unsatisfactory endings… 🫤 2y
