- Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé comes into her full dark academia powers with WHERE SLEEPING GIRLS LIE. If you liked ACE OF SPADES, this book gives you all of that, doubled, with even more explorations of power and status layered in.
- I loved how the doubt and suspicion built in this story - pretty sure I suspected everyone at one point or another.
- I do think it could have been shorter. There was so much going on that I see why it was as long as it was, but personally I almost always want a faster pace.
