Quick run of the plot: a group of theatre kids, a tragedy happens, the main character is in jail, but we don’t know why or what happened. There are two timelines with one in the ‘now’ (that are viewed as prologue for each part) and one in the past (the majority storyline is written in the past), and it is written in 3rd pov (so he thought/she said).
Background/Setting: The kids go to a top art boarding school, set in one of the aesthetic dark academia settings (so the school building is a castle with a grounds lake and some kind of other buildings around it). Each year students are cut from the grades, so that by the senior year, there are minimal people left. Many people buckle under the stress, but our main characters are in their senior year (there are seven in total).
Recommendation: The story heavily revolves around plays and theatre, mainly Shakespeare. I think you will find this book interesting if: you like to analyze plays, read murder mysterys, are a theature kid, are a part of the lgbtq+ community (some theature gays for you), or just like romance and drama.
Tags and Warning: Hurt no Comfort, Minor Character Death, Minor Background Drug Usage (but person gets clean in like three pages), (and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaour favourite) Ambiguous Ending
