SO MUCH DRAMA

It took me a good quarter of the boom to figure out what was going on but after that it was shocking event after another. All horrible people.

Imagine what rollercoaster Emily would have written in modern day.

A primeira metade do livro prendeu-me, mas a partir de um certo momento (o qual não vou mencionar para não dar spoiler), houve uma espécie de quebra na minha leitura. Sinto que o facto de este livro ser promovido como um romance me deixou confusa quando me deparei com a história em si. Sim (!) tem elementos românticos e o plot centra-se numa história de amor obsessiva, no entanto pega noutros temas à volta desse que torna a mesma mais densa e em parte, muito pesada. Gostei especialmente do facto de não gostar das personagens (kkkkk) nice one Emily
No geral, tirei prazer desta leitura mas não me deslumbrou!

god that was slow going

For the life of me, I cannot figure out why this is considered a classic love story. Catherine and Heathcliff's relationship is dysfunctional and highly destructive. Not to mention the incest taboo relationship (Heathcliff is Catherine's foster brother). This is not a romance and I don't think it should be considered a classic piece of literature either.
