The Secret History by Donna Tartt
5.0

1st read (March 4, 2021): wow. i have a huge urge to discuss this with an English major.

2nd read (November 4, 2021): i will never stop rereading this. donna tartt is insane.

3rd read (March 12, 2023): the characters are all HORRIBLE and i cant stop LOVING them. julian can choke and die. judy poovey ily. the writing is BEAUTIFUL. there are so many layers to every scene, every time i reread this i see it in a new light. it's terrifying and emotional and infuriating and suspenseful and upsetting and also somehow HILARIOUS and heart warming and beautiful at times. donna tartt never stop writing!!!!
