Have a soft spot for this book bc it’s largely based in New York, but would recommend to everyone. So well written and navigates beautifully complex relationships in a classic Bildungsroman style

I would read anything Donna Tartt writes; there is an absolute certain magic in how she writes. Absolutely masterful.
BUT even after 700 pages I kept expecting something more, plot wise. So much time spent with Theo only to finish feeling like unsatisfied like a phone call hung up mid sentence?
Potentially need to revisit and reread.
