Where Sleeping Girls Lie by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé

 

I honestly can't believe this was written by the same author who did ACE OF SPADES, which is one of my favorite YA dark academia books. I kept waiting for this one to suck me in but that never happened. The pacing is slow and there are a lot of tonal inconsistencies (quirky hijinks a la Disney channel shows like hamster escapes juxtaposed against very dark and serious issues, like SA and institutional discrimination). It just didn't work for me.
