,,Aktorzy z natury są wybuchowi - alchemiczne stworzenia zbudowane z łatwopalnych składników: emocji, ego i zazdrości.”
Już trzy razy sięgałam po tą książkę. Nie mogę ukrywać - za pierwszym razem była dla mnie lekkim zawodem i miałam co do niej mieszane uczucia…
mimo tego ta historia cały czas pozostawała w mojej głowie.
Ostatnio skończyłam mój drugi reread i mogę powiedzieć jedno - z chęcią zrobiłabym kolejny :’) Bohaterowie to majstersztyk, są wykreowani nietypowo ale realistycznie, mają ,,ludzkie” cechy i nietrudno ich pokochać (lub znienawidzić..) od pierwszych stron. Klimat elitarnej szkoły artystycznej kolejny raz skradł moje serce, fani dark academia to coś dla was!! Akcja jak już porwie to nie puszcza do ostatniej strony, zakończenie bolesne ale piękne.. może nie będę już więcej zdradzać :D Polecam!

6⭐

Una de las mas hermosas, emotivas y desgarradoras historias que leí, posiblemente, en mi vida. 

La próxima vez que me pregunten "si pidieras olvidar un libro por completo para leerlo de nuevo sin conocerlo, ¿cuál sería?" la respuesta va a ser este. 

No es el misterio, no es una sorpresa, es el viaje y el descenso inevitable y anunciado al pozo más profundo de la desgracia. 

Dios, qué librazo. 

These were the vibes I was hoping for when I read The Secret History. While this book wasn’t perfect, I really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was great and I really enjoyed all the characters and their flaws. I think it also helped that I read this in a short time span so I got really immersed in the story.

Editing this to add: To the people in the reviews saying the characters are annoying and pretentious…have you ever met a theater kid??

I would have given 4 stars based on the story alone. I took off a start due to foul language.
