Will always remain one of my favourite books of all time, beautifully written and harrowing, I’ve read it so many times that it feel s almost nostalgic in a sense. I love the atmosphere the most, it feels like I’m reading a Greek tragedy and I love how she writes the corruption and evilness of each character. Would highly recommend even though it has some huge content warnings.
