I ❤️ loved this book because...
I’ve loved Bridget Collins as an author since I read her debut YA book, The Traitor Game. Then came the great success of her first adult novel, The Binding, which made her a household name.
All her books show the same unbeatable knack for writing complicated, intense, and fully immersive relationships, and this book is no different.
It’s part dark academia, part twisted love story/rivalry, part exploration of the rise of fascism – all written with the author’s usual spellbinding prose and ability to conjure atmosphere, set in a world that’s a distorted mirror of our own.
As with all her books, it lingered in my mind long after I’d read the final page.
2 authors picked The Betrayals as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.
