A review by cerysejones
The Secret History by Donna Tartt

5.0

I’ve been meaning to read this for YEARS and finally picked it up. I read the first 150 pages in a day then got overwhelmed with deadlines/uni so was only able to get back to it the day I came home and between waiting in the airport, sitting on the plane and chilling at home I finished it within 24 hours. This is one of the best books I’ve ever read - I was never bored, invested in and yet disgusted by 90% of the characters and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it and not sure I will for a long time. Definitely want to go on a Donna Tartt/dark academia book spree at some point to fill the hole this book has left in me. I think that’s a bit dramatic.
