I have alot of complicated (mostly negative) feelings about this book. Maybe I'd rank it higher in a few days after I've finished it. It just reminds me alot of the Great Gatsby but with murder tbh.

Also, was Donna Tartt paid by the word?? Why is this book so long with soooo much unnecessary detail.

to the ppl who recommend this book as queer book to me, I hope you loose your page in your next book. With friends that give recommendations like this, who needs enemies? Having one explicitly gay character doesn't really make this book queer especially with a homophobic Bunny dropping the f-slur often.

Gorgeous prose, but a slow read. Worth staying with book until the end.

The Secret History was a very good read. Despite the fact that we knew exactly what the plot was going to be from the beginning, the journey there and the consequences was so well written that I was constantly intrigued. This book was dark and the characters were interesting. It was a surprisingly easy read, though long. I never found myself bored and plan to read more by this author.
