Jim's Review
🐛
Donna Tartt wrote this when she was basically a baby and it's still one of the most atmospheric novels Jim has ever crawled through. You know who dies from the start, but Tartt makes you turn every page anyway because the HOW and WHY are utterly intoxicating. These pretentious college kids are terrible people and Jim loved every one of them. Four worms for the ultimate dark academia vibes.
