Where to begin? Wuthering heights is a fever dream. Both during and after reading I was left questioning out loud, what have I just read?! I have found myself delaying writing this review because on the one hand, who am I to critique Emily Brontë and such a beloved classic, but on the other hand was this book just lost on me? I started off completely gripped and loved the narration within a narration format, and then it all just went… strange. How are people seemingly dropping dead of an argument? Why do I not like ANY of the characters? How in the hell has this ever been portrayed as a love story? What is going on??!!!!!This review is full of questions, and that is all this novel left me with. Perhaps I need to read it again as I have been left bamboozled by Ms Brontë.
