helencantread's review against another edition
I started reading this last year and then started reading other books in the midst of it, then just didn't/haven't picked it back up since then. I do still want to finish it, there's just so many other books I am more interested in at the moment.

I will definitely return to this book. Great writing, great characters, and an amazing ending. I did find that all of the rich people problems get annoying towards the end, but still a fantastic book about beauty, morality, and heathenism.
Graphic: Misogyny, Alcohol, Cultural appropriation, Murder, Mental illness, Death, and Toxic friendship
Moderate: Sexual harassment, Addiction, Classism, Drug use, and Infidelity
Minor: Sexual content, Classism, Racism, Suicidal thoughts, Death of parent, Infidelity, and Suicide
The classism is less of a thing that happens and more of a general presence throughout the book.arandavis's review against another edition

"I knew nothing but shadows, and I thought them real. [...] I have grown sick of shadows. You are more to me than all art can ever be."
