The start of the novel wasn’t what I expected but I was drawn into the story. It was an enjoyable read, and I loved the prose! The characters could be annoying and most of them are unlikeable but the story and writing kept me reading.

I skimmed over Joseph’s dialogue every once in awhile because I couldn’t understand what he was saying 😂 and it slowed me down.

I have many tabbed pages and highlighted passages! I’m glad I finally read this classic and now I’m curious to read more from Emily Brontë.

Infinite fucking stars. Stunned to my core. This masterpiece has elicited so many thoughts and feelings at a magnitude scarcely comprehensible even to myself, that I know even years of study will not afford me the eloquence to do it’s articulation justice. There’s so much to love (and to love hating lol), so much to unpack. My brain is broken. Emily Bronte is my hero. My HERO.
