The fact that I needed an audiobook to get through this short book is crazy to me. Still very gay

after finishing I just wanted to hop in my bed, cocoon in my blankets and pretend I knew of nothing. pretend I just did not just comically leap of my shoes bcs the book in fact knocked me over. because hello??? did I know how it would end? hell yeah I’ve been spoiled before and I mean the foreshadowings were right there at the hindrance blinking bright red. but boy, I still had the audacity to act shocked, oh how I detest henry and dorian, oh how I wept for basil, what I would do to save sybil that poor girl. wished I could just jump in the book and strangle that witty, thou cruel, amusing, but still awfully wicked lord. and how much I wanted to slap some sense into dorian bcs god damn it why are you so dumb. I love classic books, solely bcs they do bring out the worst in me too. this is a classic for a reason and from an philosophical standpoint I great lesson to just use your own god damn mind and that some people are just that idiotic, that cruel and morality is not a given. we have morals and laws for a reason. and I’m just not in the right state to write a good review. but read it everything you read is a worthy experience whether you liked it or not (I sure did love this one )
