Infinite fucking stars. Stunned to my core. This masterpiece has elicited so many thoughts and feelings at a magnitude scarcely comprehensible even to myself, that I know even years of study will not afford me the eloquence to do it’s articulation justice. There’s so much to love (and to love hating lol), so much to unpack. My brain is broken. Emily Bronte is my hero. My HERO.

You've got to read it like you watch messy reality TV. Its bad people doing bad, messy stuff in the middle of nowhere. Some very beautiful prose and descriptions that are really nice to read, but mostly frustrating. Like Why would you do that?? That's the stupidest reaction I've ever heard of!! but in a fun way.
