The Secret History

"Are you happy here?" I said at last. He considered this for a moment. "Not particularly," he said. "But you're not very happy where you are, either."

what I love most about this book is that although there's a definite plot line and series of important events, the most compelling part of the book is the characters and how they all intertwine. it's incredibly easy for an author to make you support a cast of characters, but donna tartt writes each character so well and so in-depth that you leave the story wondering if they were ever genuine at any point. although I wasn't the biggest fan of the ending (or the time jump—when will they learn? 😔) my disappointment was greatly made up for in beautiful writing and rich character exploration. francis abernathy served cunt in every single scene he was in.
