4.0
This was an assigned reading, but I enjoyed it all the same. I didn't see most of the twists and reveals coming, despite the characters being ubiquitous! I can see why the plots, characters, and themes have had such strong staying power over the last 100+ years. Other than letting a potential reade know about some heavy-handed chunks of exposition that bogged me down, I’d highly recommended it.
Minor: Animal cruelty, Misogyny, Murder, Classism, Toxic relationship, Domestic abuse, Emotional abuse, Physical abuse, Stalking, Animal death, Blood, Death, and Gun violence
