"Has a kind of Real Victorian Housewives feel to it which was compelling, but it petered out at the end."

"had some better moments ig but all in all like…what did i read? and what was the point?"

"I thought the beginning was slow, the middle was exciting, and the end was terrible. I disliked most if not all of the characters. This book was not for me."

""Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same."<br/><br/>2.5⭐<br/><br/>I've been planning to read Wuthering Heights for forever, and finally did a group read with some friends this year. I went into this book with certain expectations because of what I've heard about it, and I wound up being disappointed. For some reason, I thought it was going to be a first-hand account of a crazy toxic romance. Catherine and Heathcliff's story being told by someone else felt so distant, and I actually wanted to know what all was going on. The narrator was listening to another narrator tell a story about other people, and it was so disjointed to me. So much more of the book focused on other characters, and I had little to no interest in the other characters. <br/><br/>The ending just felt like a build-up to nothing, and I kept waiting for the story to get more intense. It never happened. Obviously the writing is good, but I just ended up not caring for the story. I'll probably try to read it again one day now that I know what to expect."

"Great story telling, amazing story. Was glued to it the whole time!"

"It’s a good classic…definitely gothic in style. "

"Kind of bizarre."

"Ngl the forced marriage part knocked a full star off of this for me. After that I just skimmed until I reached the end."
