ignore how long it took me to read this šŸ˜ but, lord have mercy, donna tartt has yet to disappoint!!! though it did kinda slow down a little near the end, there was not a single moment throughout this book where she didnā€™t have me hooked. from start to finish, i had no clue where we were going but i enjoyed the ride! donna tarttā€™s writing style is unmatched. of course, i have to applaud her attention to detail; from furniture making to the fine arts, she made sure what she wrote was fact. and the way she makes characters feel so real and alive is insane! boris is probably my favorite of all the characters, along with theoā€™s mother. finishing this makes me want to reread a secret history T-T
