A review by kikiv1ncent
The Secret History by Donna Tartt

dark funny tense medium-paced

4.25

dude okay alright i have so much to say abt this book

first of all, written SO well so beautifully.
love how richard talks abt him throwing himself off of a bridge. love julian’s little speeches.

second, FUCK Henry. he was a walking red flag from the beginning. though him saving richard and carrying camilla did make me smile and just hnnnggg i have a love-hate relationship with him
 

francis my beloved

also camilla and charles gave me bad vibes waayy before charles turned alcoholic and finding out about the uhh… not so brotherly kiss.


anyway this got me hooked from the beginning. read it in 9 days which is v fast for me. I ATE THIS UP. there were parts where i wished richard would’ve just shut up like i do not care abt ur silly dreams.
loved reading abt his winter with Leo and their summer before that.
also bunny’s letter to julian will haunt me. i feel so bad for him but he was kind of an ass.


there are so many parts i’ll be thinking about for a WHILE.
CANT RECOMMEND ENOUGH.
