definitely hooked. kind of made up my mind that I do agree to this book being a modern classic. a blueprint for sure that has influenced the literary world. and whether you like the book or not or think it’s badly written that is just a fact. we wouldn’t have the dark academia genre at least as we know it today without the secret history. even a movie like Saltburn has clear inspirations from this book.

I just updated but had to again coz 😨😨 the audacity of bunny like so freaking shady. At this point I’m munching popcorn & sipping tea. Not the incest jabs and like digging so hard to find holes in Richard’s lies. Only thing missing was rattlesnake sound effects for real.
In the words of Jade Jolie, Bunny ‘you’re mean girl, you’re a mean girl.’

Bunny’s accent I vacillate between loving and hating. There was points I was like he deserves to die just for how grating it is to listen. But lowkey brings levity.
Would like to make it known I’m a Bunny is bisexual truther. That is one of the cattiest most annoying people I have ever read (in a good way). Bro was mad about being left out of a Bacchanalia sex party with 3 boys and a girl so you do the math.

Richard has resting bitch face and I high key love that for him.
This book is kind of controversial in my opinion because it’s considered a ‘modern classic’ but so many people also are not about that whatsoever. Wanted to read this for so long to see where I landed but finally got around to it. I love dark academia & Donna Tartt but keeping low expectations.
