I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book or my review itself.
I have been really excited about this book since I first heard about it, and it definitely lived up the hype and even surpassed my expectations.
For Your Own Good is set in an elite private school, with lots of hidden secrets (and everyone trying to find out those secrets), mysterious deaths, and complicated characters. Readers get put in the heads of a lot of different people, but each character is distinct and fascinating in their own right.
And the twists! So many twists, so many reveals, and I don't think I saw a single one coming, though every single one made sense looking back and was essential to the plot moving forward.
Every choice in this book felt like Downing made it very deliberately, and it shows. I definitely recommend this book, and absolutely intend to go read Downing's previous work now too.
