so-soDespite all the acclaim surrounding this book, I could not muster one iota of sympathy or even empathy for the main character/narrator. I found the narrator to be unreliable but I‘m not sure if the author intended to use that storytelling method. I feel the intent was the main character was narrating as a confidential confession, but the ease with which he lied to friends and casual acquaintances made his confession feel hallow.
Monday finds me on #Seattle ‘s UW campus, where each of Barrett Bloom's steps feels borrowed from the day before. We get glimpses of Mount Rainier and references to Mercer Island and Bellevue—PNW has my heart. 🌲

Ok. I‘m back to reading The Secret History, but at this point I‘m pulling for the FBI to catch these little 🍑 🎩!
pickI had high hopes for this book after reading the author‘s introduction, though it didn‘t quite deliver. I‘m not really into kink, and while the book promised it, it was really just some light BDSM. I‘m also over the kind of story where we get a smart female lead who still has to be rescued by a big, strong man. That trope feels tired and overdone. Book #47 in 2025
