I wish that I *got* Shakespeare like these guys so that I could have loved this book more.

it’s had all comparisons to the secret history but i feel like i enjoyed it a lot more. oliver was much more likeable than richard papen, and that made me more interested on the whole.

and i know that the deaths in both these novels are completely vile, but bunny probably deserved (i use that word very loosely) it less than richard? bunny was an obnoxious little shit but richard was becoming abusive and violent. however bunny’s murder was premeditated and vile, while james was provoked into fighting back and defending himself.

i love both these books but i much preferred if we were villains. i love u oliver and filippa

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!
