Our own selves make us most unhappy, and that's why we're so anxious to lose them, don't you think?

Review:
I read this book partially because I wanted to experience Dark Academia and partially because I saw Conan Grey posting it on his story a lot. Donna Tartt's writing was philosophical, beautiful(At times) and dry. I don't know how she pulled that off. I have to admit, this book would've been so much more better if it had been short. The plot was engaging, and the characters were so fascinating, They were so immoral, carefree and super messed up, yet I found myself liking them a lot. I don't know what that says about me though *insert awkward smile*
There were a lot of dry spells in between the parts I actually found interesting. Maintaining my interest in those pages was a little difficult, But I'm glad I got through it! Because, this story is was really intriguing to me. With the little side bonus of loving the Dark Academia vibe.
