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

Every character except the two main narrators are insufferable in the best way. The pettiness and drama kept me engaged throughout while the despicable treatment of certain characters made me care. A super fun, but frustrating read.

This is a classic for a reason. Cathy and Heathcliff are both fascinating, complex characters with a shocking, heartbreaking, horrifying relationship that kept me hooked. Harlton Earnshaw deserves so much happiness.

this differed a lot from my expectations, the gothic stuff was surprising but in a positive way... unlike all the marriages. So much death and almost everyone was an asshole in their own way and the love stories didn't feel believable enough so that I could have cared for the characters.
also you can never make me root for a marriage between CHILDREN that are COUSINS and make it happen multiple times.
