💜 Book Review 💜

The real tragedy for Catherine is not that she made the wrong decision (between Heathcliff and Edgar), but that no right choice exists for an untamed woman in a patriarchal world.

❤️ Writing Tip ❤️

Try writing from an unusual perspective or the POV of a character you would usually despise.

It's good to write about what you know, but it can also be great to venture into the unfamiliar! 📚✒️
