A review by juliettebarakat
The World Cannot Give by Tara Isabella Burton

4.0

I say dark academia, you say hell yeah.

Loved this boarding school book following a choir cult as they explore teenage greed. So so good. Closest book to TSH in terms of vibes.

Seems like we can never escape comparing a DA book to the OG TSH. But this felt like that except incredibly unique to itself unlike IWWV.
I thought this book made DA its own and I love the commentary on how we glorify the aesthetic and the pretentiousness, ugh. just yes.

Too many thoughts, not enough words.
