Looking for non-YA books with young / college-age characters.
I’m into stories (could be any era) with reckless, adventurous energy — friend groups, loyalty, obsession, bad decisions, late-night chaos, maybe even crime or street-racing vibes (like all of this is not required in every single rec joined in one ofcourse).
I like dark or edgy undertones, morally gray characters, and charming but messy personalities. Strong plot is important.
Not looking for fantasy or typical coming-of-age YA.
Think: youth without the “teen” tone — more raw, impulsive, and intense.
thank you!

You basically described ***The Secret History* by Donna Tartt (1992)** to the letter.
