i am so shaken up after closing this book. the experience of reading this story was beyond haunting and tragic, but also somewhat so engaging that you know shit’s coming but you just can’t help but keep reading and regret it later as you lay in bed trying to sleep, not being able to put away the disturbing scenes and characters from this fucking book. it’s indescribable. yes, it’s a story about these six classic majors... and that’s really all there is. in a nutshell, I’d say it’s a book about white people’s problems written in 600 pages in absurdly dense writing. again, it’s something you’ve got to experience by yourself to understand, I guess?? but I will say, though, once you start reading, you can’t really stop. even if you do, there will always be that demoniac voice inside your head, whispering, questioning you about the six protagonists, who are all assholes, terrible people. read and watch as many reviews as you want, but you will only understand the hype around this novel once you pick it up and experience it by yourself.
