Secret History-esque Novels
Today I’m discussing ten books that bear at least some resemblance to Donna Tartt’s well-loved book, The Secret History.
Elements of a Secret History-esque book:
1. A campus setting
2. A tightly-knit group of friends
3. An outsider invited into this group
4. Secrets
5. A heavy sense of atmosphere and mood
6. A tragic event that makes the group question their loyalties
