I like the "dark academia" genre, and apparently, this book is why that genre exists. Everything else gets compared to it. I haven't pulled the trigger on this yet though. I'm that weird person that hated the Goldfinch - and particularly hated the characters - so I've been really hesitant on The Secret History.
I read The Goldfinch last year and really enjoyed that. I’ll have to check this one out too. I heard that she even started a bidding war between publishers over who would get to publish this. And it was her first book. Ha, insane.
