I guess I just can’t quite figure out where this is going. There is still a lot of book left, but what’s it’s stopping point?

I was this far in when I realized this takes place in 1983. That does explain a couple of things. I thought it was charming they all wrote each other letters, but I guess it was just because it is 1983. Lol

Is there nothing to be said for complicity? Lol

I love the idea that luck is invisible tho

And in one fell swoop Tartt answers the list of questions that I had to actually write down because I was feeling disoriented.

The lack of chapter breaks makes this feel like a real journey.

Also, ick at the classism! When you self-select into an elite group of five at an already prestigious college, don’t cry foul when you can’t easily find peers lol

A book in which characters have American Express cards, but do not have cell phones, is a charming book.

Two things: 1) Donna Tartt’s voice is enough to make you switch back to physical books. Who on earth let her read the audiobook for others to hear? Ugh. Sorry. 2) I am picturing Julian Morrow as David Sedaris. I know it’s not correct, but it’s where my mind went.
