whenever i am in a difficult situation i now think 'what would anne bronte do?' and the answer is always something sensible. charlotte judged this book way too harshly (which was a bit hypocritical ngl) and i think anne is the most underrated bronte. if we all behaved like her the world would be a much kinder and tidier place.

4.5

lovely lovely read - read for english class and i wish i could give it 5 stars because it was so fun. it’s a letter with journal entries from another characters perspective. and there’s time skips. and it’s so fun. but the middle got so repetitive and boring and long that it was hard to get through. i love gilbert and his pov and the way he writes <333

emotional slow-paced

4.0

So you wrote a book of almost 500 pages to your friend Halford, spanning several years, but never once thought to see your friend in person in all this time?

Jokes aside, I didn’t expect this book to be as emotional as it was. And the importance to today’s world regarding domestic violence, toxic masculinity and many more themes is very sad and alarming.
