If this book hadn’t been banned it would not have gotten popular. Also this couple is for sure breaking up.

Well. I had a lot of feelings reading this! First, it's the book every kid knows is filthy, but I didn't read it until age 42. It definitely would've felt VERY dirty if I read it as a kid. Second, it felt like the eroticism was clickbait to get to his real point: classism and socialism and feminism, and hating rich people, ambition, and status. Which, yeah man! Third, like main character Mellors switches between his Derbyshire and posh accents, it felt like the writing was sometimes very bad and then sometimes very brilliant. Maybe this was an editing thing! 

Regardless, it was a funny little book that affected me even though none of the characters were likable. And in fact, many of them felt unsettling. (Connie's dad??)

And I was expecting a different ending! But the ending we got is good.

Started getting slow. And the romance isn’t as convincing as I thought it would be . Will most likely revisit at another time
