🩷 Book Review 🩷

There is a certain component of the plot that felt wholly unnecessary – iykyk - it doesn’t distract too much from the lovely relationship between Will and Lou. 📚✒️

💜 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.
