adelaideandastro 's review for:

Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy
5.0
adventurous emotional funny slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Hardy’s Victorian-era men are A-grade assholes! I was fuming the whole book, and just wanted someone to cut Tess some slack.

5 stars in part because I love a slow burn, in part because I had to pick my jaw up off the ground after the last chapter.
