I did really like this, especially by the end! I did think it a tad boring in some of the middle areas, but besides that it was really good!

i personally felt that this novel is meant to tell the day in the life of people in a community, and what happens to them all, even when tragedy strikes, it all remains very social. many of the characters in this felt like a mirrorball, and it was really interesting to have all their thoughts put out into the air but know that these are simply ✨thoughts✨. Also, this is my first Virginia Woolf novel, and her writing style is very unique; almost like a constant poem :)

I read this for school. Not bad. definitely a really cool concept and a very interesting way to look at it, I just personally wasn’t as into it as I thought I’d be. But definitely a decent and fast read!

This was great. I hate Charles, I dislike Camilla, I love Francis, I don’t mind Richard, I have mixed emotions about Henry, I’m glad that Bunny dies. That’s my rundown the The Secret History
