The cover, title and blurb were appealing and I started out intrigued with the story. About 1/2 way I started losing interest so skimmed to the end which picked up steam but left some undesirable images.
The story had interesting elements - and I kept reading to find out what was going on - but the writing never grabbed me.
It has been 20 years since Kersti Kuusk set foot on the grounds of the Lycee, the prestigious boarding school she attended as a teen. Kersti was a scholarship student from Canada at the elite school, and she left abruptly in her senior year, after her best friend, Cressida, fell from her balcony one evening.
