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.

Hi Michelle! What other dark academia books have you enjoyed? And if you reviewed The Goldfinch I'd love to check it out. I'm curious what you found disagreeable about the characters.

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.

It is insane! I think you'll enjoy the experience this gives you, especially if you're a fan of the Goldfinch.

It has been 10 years since The Goldfinch so we are due for a new Tartt novel!
