Hahahaha, as a Secret History super fan who has never read most of the classics, I'm sorry people commented that to you. I'm amazed how many people miss the point of the book completely, while you actually felt it was made too clear. I also sort of understand why it might not work for everyone. I'm obsessed with Donna Tartt's writing; she just vibes with my generally melancholic, lonely, overthinking, dramatic vibes so the parts other people feel drag, to me just feed into everything I love. It's my favourite book, but I'm hardly going to come onto your channel and insult you if it isn't for you. You are highly intelligent and hilarious, even though some of our book tastes are very different. Keep on!

You are actively the highlight of my day/week/month whenever a new video drops, or even if I'm just rewatching your older videos for the 11th time (always hits just as hard as the first time). Unless making long videos stresses YOU out, don't sweat it. We absolutely love them.

I was so invested in this video. Your reviews are fascinating and hilarious, and the setting sun just absolutely cranked up the intensity. As you hit the last book, I was like, she did it! Then the full SD card … . Next level. No booktube video has left me feeling what I am currently feeling. Your video was a five-star novel in itself, and you have a new fan for life.
