I honestly didn't even finish this book because I couldn't stand it. Although I know how it ends, it doesn't make anything else better.
Everyone is an asshole. No one has any good qualities. Everyone is incredibly immature. It was also really confusing because everyone's names are either very similar, or exactly the fucking same as another character.

The first chapter suggests the book is a supernatural/gothic/horror story. So it was quite disappointing to find the rest of the book has very little of that in it, but rather is about unhappy and spiteful people tormenting each other. Finding it difficult to sympathize with most characters, or engage in the plot - finishing this book was a struggle.
For me, the saving grace was the glimmer of hope for human decency and kindness revealed in the final chapters.

I feel like I've been duped.
