Ok so I have a complicated relationship with this book. Basically I wasn't a huge fan.
This is a Gothic Romance novel that takes place in the moors that follows a sort of star-crossed romance between Catherine and Heathcliffe.
I really liked the writing of this. It was really descriptive and gorgeous. Definitely one of my favorite parts of the book.
I also loved the setting. Misty, foggy, chilly moors? Please and thank you. I love Gothic novels for so many reason, but the setting is almost always one of my favorite things.
The plot was fine. Nothing spectacular. And it had some elements I really didn't like.
Finally, the characters. I didn't like most of them a lot of the time. Some were interesting at times, but overall I wasn't a huge fan of them.
Overall, I'm glad I finally read this, but it wasn't my favorite.
