This book, is so GOOD. The characters are so disguising and rich and so hard to relate to. You can see why the protagonist may gut be been drawn to these group of friends. AND HENRY OH MY GOD. He’s my new favorite character. The plot can drag and lull from time to time but I found it to be quite realistic since not everything in life is high stakes all the time. I would seriously recommended this novel if you have time to kill and have a morbid longing for the picturesque.
