Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marisha Pessl

4.0

I really would give this book 4.5 stars if possible. It is frequently compared to The Secret History by Donna Tartt due to similarities in the characters and core premise, but I enjoyed this novel far more. Shockingly, I hadn't read the ending first and was surprised, but not displeased, by the ending. 4.5 stars vice 5 due to wordiness that led to resultant 500-page book but overall, will recommend to friends.
