I didn't like The Secret History, DNFed it pretty early. I feel We Were Villains is similar to it so I'm gonna avoid it (also don't care for Shakespeare).
Thanks for this. I've been wanting to dip my toes in academia settings so this is helpful. I'm reading The Love Hypothesis right now and am about 30% of the way in. I feel like they just keep having the same conversation. "Sorry this is awkward" "It's okay, it's not your fault" but hopping it progresses. After this I think I'll try out the YA recommendations!
Two imo fantastic novels set in academia are The Secret History by Donna Tartt (since you love thrillers, that might be one for you) and Stoner by John Williams.
I’m 50 pages into For Your Own Good and find it boring. Does it pick up the pace soon? I think I just have such high expectations cause Hailey Hughes gave a bit more info on her channel than you did, but I’ll stick it out if it picks up soon, or maybe switch to audio.
I DNFed if we were villains half way through …the heavy Shakespeare really turned me off and made me not care. The Secret History is always highly recommended for dark academia and it’s also pretentious and heavy on greek history / philosophy but I think more digestible.
