A review by loquaciousleon
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt

dark emotional slow-paced
This truly would have been a 5 star book and possibly one of my top picks in general...because so much of it was brilliant.......And I can't even rate it because there were really disrespectful bits about the unhoused littered through the book...and some notes of what felt like covert racism, some possible queerphobia, and a "transvestite" comment that were just really suspicious choices.

Also, as someone in recovery, this book has a lot of Substance Use in it that is written very well. Though, it did give me cravings I haven't felt in a long time. 

Peers, please be wary.
