Query: Words fail me

It's a pity they didn't fail the author of this atrocious book. Comparisons to The Secret History by Donna Tartt have been made. The themes of youth, treachery, passion, betrayal and finally torment are similar. The writing, a thin cop. I'm on vacation at the beach. This book was flung over the porch railing into the gulf at 1a.m. this morning.
