oh my god i gasped repeatedly…this was gorgeously written and riveting

I was surprised that when Gwendolyn asked Oliver to name his weaknesses he didn’t say that he had a morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs. If you’re going to so shamelessly rip off The Secret History, just go full out, why don’t you?

Also, if you have an eating disorder, please don’t read this book!
