I am at a loss for words at how to exactly explain my thoughts and feelings of this book so this review might be all over the place. There are things I absolutely loved, and things that were incredibly difficult to like. It was so beautifully written. The picture is all so clear and well thought out but why did it have to end the way it did?! More than anything this book is more about tragedy and hardships than romance in my opinion. And the romance in this book…I personally wouldn’t even consider it romance…Especially with the way Scarlett treats her relationships. 

I will say that my absolute favorite part of this book was anything that had to do with Melly. She is actually so sweet and I would love to have a friend like her.

This is a tough one. The story is so good but the racism, misogyny, and romanticism of slavery is so strong. Every praise you’ve heard of this book is true, and every criticism is equally, if not more, true. In the end, I’m giving it a good rating because I rate them based on how engaged I was and emotionally invested, and that was a lot…. But yeah. It’s a tough one.

Gone with the Wind was a well written book, but it wasn’t very enjoyable. Almost none of the characters were likeable, and it was way longer than it needed to be.
