This book was truly a masterpiece. It was hilarious (Helen is a GEM), heartbreaking, upsetting, and so so so enjoyable to read. I loved reading about Helen from Gilbert’s point of view and I loved seeing him SO DOWN BAD for my girl!! She deserves alllllll of that! I also love how scandalous this entire story felt especially knowing the time frame it was written in. Anne Bronte was iconic for this. The last thing l’ll say is that I oftentimes get down on myself when beginning to read classics because I don’t feel smart enough for it but once I was able to get over that (which was really quickly as I was immediately drawn into the story by the 3rd page) it was a wonderful reading experience. So if you’re someone who’s nervous about picking up classics, you don’t have to be nervous, this is an incredibleeeee book. I could literally talk about this book forever because I loved it THAT much! What do I read next?? Who am I now that I have read the tenant of wildfell hall??? What do I do with myself now?! What could I possibly read next that will come to the same level!??!
