A dark, gloomy, destructive, tragic,manipulative love story of Heathcliff & Catherine Earnshaw. 

This is the first classic book that I picked up. I was quite hesitant because let's be real classic books are intimidating. I had to put down the book for two - four days? 'cause I'm having a hard time understanding some of the words, it's prose but i strived and read back and repeatedly read all of the writings I didn't understand and then eventually with my trusty dictionary I got the hang of it. It wasn't easy going through it but no ounce of regret because this is a great story and I fell in love with it.

Infinite fucking stars. Stunned to my core. This masterpiece has elicited so many thoughts and feelings at a magnitude scarcely comprehensible even to myself, that I know even years of study will not afford me the eloquence to do it’s articulation justice. There’s so much to love (and to love hating lol), so much to unpack. My brain is broken. Emily Bronte is my hero. My HERO.
