This is getting a little ridiculous I can so tell this was Ava’s first book 😂 you’re telling me we spent all this time at the school for them to study for like…a month?? Maybe less than that. So they can pull out these students and put them in an expensive ass simulation to find a cube and then they have to solve puzzles the CIA set up for them?? That probably won’t be present in a real mission except they’re all elaborate tests for two of the top students to make sure they’re smart and loyal. Meanwhile Julian hooks up with Crispy Casper the ghost for no reason, it’s not even being used for angst, and doesn’t go anywhere cuz he’s clearly into Klaudia exclusively, we don’t even get him like…deconstructing his sexuality but ok. And now, after they disobeyed orders, they’re being told to go to this party and schmooze a billionaire into fixing what they broke? None of these pieces fit together this doesn’t make sense In hoping it’ll come together but what is going on here it feels like a fan fic lmao
