A review by eveybrittin
The Secret History by Donna Tartt

dark mysterious slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.75

I feel like the content warnings sum it up... a well-written but strange and fairly boring novel. I had hope for the characters but they just weren't good people
