Ok y’all, I have to DNF for right now, my brain doesn’t have the capacity to concentrate right now
I'd give this more 2 1/2 stars. The Professor is often said to be the "first draft of Villette. Shirly is much better! While long and dragging at points, it does have it's touching moments. However, I did want to throw the book against the wall at the very last sentence. If I left that out though, I would have enjoy the novel.
It can't even begin to hold a candle to Jane Eyre though.

Shelving this to clear my “Currently Reading” for the thesis.
Did I finish reading Villette for class? Depends on who’s asking. The answer is “no”, unless you’re Dr Suze, in which case yes of course I did.
Don’t tell her I said that.

The writing on loneliness and self-denial is almost unbearable in Villette, but there are enough moments of beauty and humor to keep you going. Second most crushing ending of any book I’ve ever read!!!

slow, but it’s enemies to lovers kinda and she’s so valid for falling in love with a weird little man who’s rude and angry …. too bad he’s french

Pity that Jane Eyre is the one that receives all of the attention; Villette is a much better display of Charlotte's skillful prose.
