This has probably become my favourite book! Also that ending! I didn't see it coming and it bloody hurt!
Perfect for fans of The Secret History by Donna Tartt and perfect for those who would want to read Donna Tartt but are scared about the unnecessary length of The Secret History, and the boring descriptions that go on for ages. This book is absolutely BRILLIANT!!!
