I assumed this novel was a romance, but it was a tale of class, obsession, and revenge.  While I can appreciate this classic, I didn't enjoy it.

none of the characters are likable except the narrator Nelly, and maybe on a good day cathy linton. but heathcliff is literally the worst??? and actually evil??? and why do they hate children so much. also, they need to get out of the holler and stop marrying their cousins

Really enjoyed it, got more and more into it as I went. Not a book I could read when distracted due to the style of writing but gave a wonderful dark story from the 19th century
