Our take
AI-draftedMakkai builds her novel around a true-crime podcaster returning to teach at the elite boarding school where her roommate was murdered years earlier, and the book is sharpest when it's interrogating its narrator's own complicity in turning dead women into content. Critics have placed it alongside campus-novel touchstones like The Secret History and Prep, but noted that Makkai's ambitions are more explicitly political.

“unabashedly Makkai's #MeToo novel, brimming with mordant wit”
Hamilton Cain, The New York Times“more than a murder mystery”
