(30 minutes later) Yeah lol ignore that, this book fully deserves a 5 stars. Tartt’s writing is just incredible and I genuinely cannot stop thinking about The Goldfinch. It is truly so beautiful and impactful.
My only gripe would be the length - there definitely could have been parts cut out to make the book a little less slow-paced and more fluid in motion.
