This book is a dark, psychological thriller that chronicles the tale of a relationship between the young Catherine Bailey and a handsome, charismatic man called Lee who slowly, gradually, turns into a monster.

The first person to claim that Wordsworth’s “Preface” is “half a child of my own Brain” was, of course, Coleridge. It is less original than has sometimes been thought, however, in that many of its aesthetic, psychological, and sociological presuppositions are quite commonplace, especially in the numerous writings on aesthetics in English which appeared during the eighteenth century, based often on the associationist psychology of Locke and Hartley or on the primitivistic theories of culture and literature which are characteristic of the Scottish “Common-sense” philosophers (112). As Owen and Smyser put it: The Preface to Lyrical Ballads is Wordsworth’s best known critical work, and his most original essay in aesthetics in the sense that it often appears to be the result of his introspective examination of his own poetic processes. Recent research, however, reveals that there is almost nothing original in the “Preface”. A manifesto of a movement purporting to usher in a new trend in poetry is expected to offer at least a few original ideas. Both perspectives gave different sides to ultimately the same story. The two main characters, Chiamaka and Devon were amazing. I loved the academic setting, the twisted story, and how intense the ending was. I’ve never seen Gossip Girl or Get Out, but close friends have said it’s a great combination of both. I am shook and completely freaked out by this book. With heart-pounding suspense and relevant social commentary comes a high-octane thriller from debut author Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé.

After all, not only does it look great on college applications, but it officially puts each of them in the running for valedictorian, too.
