Giving this book anything less than 5 stars would be a crime


This book was so atmospheric and in my opinion Donna Tartt owns the rights to writing unreliable narrators. I adored reading this book and I felt like I was in class with Julian and the rest of the students. 
I feel like I’ll never be able to escape all of these characters. For the rest of time they’ll live in the back of my head. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forget about this story
