I received a free ARC via NetGalley 
 I couldn't even try to get into this. Because first their AP Lit teacher took them outside and made them sound their barbaric Yawp. 
 Because rehashing Dead Poets Society is totally what I wanted to read. Except not. 
 THEN he goes inside, gives them an inspirational quote (of course), and then proceeds to say they will study the great masters of English "from Dante to Shakespeare." 
 "From Dante to Shakespeare." 
 I promise it takes one second to google Dante if you don't know that he a) was Italian and b) wrote mainly in Latin anyway. 
 He was not a great master of English. 
 I'm not opposed to him being studied, of course, but ffs if you can't get your facts right why should I keep reading? 
 Also, the writing style is really awkward and stilted.
