this was so hyped i had such high expectations 😭. the beginning was really good, until i got about 1/3rd of the way through and realized that absolutely nothing had happened. i was waiting for excitement. after he gets engaged it gets soooo boring. i struggled to get through it. and even the big moments in the book like the murder were a yawn. i’m sorry guys but this is just not worth it. i’m a classics girly through and through but mr wilde does not deserve the hype he gets with this one.
