Currently reading The Secret History and I think I have an unpopular opinion 😭
I’m around 15% in and… is it just me or is this book super slow?
Don’t get me wrong, Donna Tartt’s writing is beautiful and the atmosphere is amazing. I totally get the dark academia appeal and I can see why people love it. But I feel like I’m just slowly walking around with these characters while waiting for something to happen.
Please tell me I’m not alone here. Did it eventually click for you or is the pacing just part of the experience?
