This book is not “exactly like” The Secret History. Got it?
Yes, it’s dark academia. Yes, there is a cohort of brilliant students at a school for elite talent, but the writing, pacing and plotting are not Tarttian.
A highly-entertaining read. It’s rumored to be coming to television and I will absolutely watch it.
