A review by kristinetp
The Secret History by Donna Tartt

dark mysterious tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
took me a long time to get through this one too

the first half was a bit slow, but once the main event happened, it was all uphill from there and i was eating it up. kinda had me in tears at the end tbh.

the prose is beautiful. I really enjoy Dona Tartt's writing style. Everything was drawn out and beautiful.
