I like this book but have so many problems with it that I can't say I love it.
The main issue I have with it is that Tartt would throw in random homophobia and islamophobia when it had nothing to do with the book. I also felt as though she would bring in random characters and not finish their story which would be okay normally but it was during a high point and it felt off and incomplete.
