Oleander: A Great Expectations Reimagining
by Scarlett Drake
Estella was one of my first fictional loves (don't psychoanalyse me), so I knew I was going to like this one. Especially since it's contemporary gothic with toxic, dysfunctional, imperfect characters. At 600 pages long, it definitely could have been condensed at points, but it was fast-paced and didn't lull at any point.
I wish the topic of queerness was engaged with a bit more in the latter half of the book and I do wish there were more women involved in the story, but overall I really enjoyed it.
