benevolios 's review for:

A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
5.0

STRAIGHT UP OBSESSED. i love this novel soso much it’s so good! ofc, with most books, the first few chapters are sooo boring but sooo necessary. anyway time to talk abt some characters i loved :)

lucie: g-dddd what to say. she’s the strongest character in this whole novel and she doesn’t deserve to be. she sees the best in people. she tries her best to give back to the people who help her. her friendship with carton is so important to me!!! they are Not in love btw

darnay: i will be honest he’s not my Fav but he’s instrumental to understanding my Favs. charles is literally just some guy who’s trying to make a better life for himself as an honest man and i respect that about him dearly. i think he truly loves and cares about lucie and only extends his love to sydney through her and her belief in him

carton: THE BITCH. kinda obsessed with him💞 he’s very instrumental in the story and is very interesting symbolically. i adore his friendship with lucie and little lucie. i don’t think he’s in love with charles but these two got a weird thing going on. their love is through the lens of lucie and their true feelings toward each other aren’t known and will never be known if lucie is around

everyone else was pretty cool but i feel like The trio is super important to me. it certainly is better the more you get into it the beginning is such a bore!!!!!
