So like i said, it's a book that hits on a lot of themes that i am a big fan of and i really enjoy, and overall i enjoyed this book. I do feel like the fact that i've read a lot of books in this sort of boarding school world, asian american narratives, things like that — obviously it's australian but you know similar ideas are going on here — because i've read a lot of those books, there's nothing in here to me that felt particularly new.
