The Secret History by Donna Tartt

5.0

Personally I really enjoyed Part I of the book, it was a non-stop page turner for me, however everything falls apart for me as a reader in Part II of the book, I understand that the author was trying to evidently show the different reactions to guilt (of murdering someone) and how it may vary and influence the psyche differently per individual, however it really really dragged on for me when I already understood the point and also it progressively got weirder especially when it was confirmed the twins were and have already slept together !? that was it i wanted to clock out but i finished the book nonetheless because of the high praises for this book and I will understand why people say its their favourite the first half entranced me into the dark academia world while the second half of the book reminded me that it was dark academia emphasis on the dark.
