5.0

If I could read any book for the first time again, this would be it. Wilde’s writing is absolutely magnifying and so captivating to a completely different level compared to anything else. The descriptions pull you into the environment, you can almost feel the breeze through the flowers. The characters are very distinct and the plot is simple to follow. The underlying darkness of the story is everything. This is forever the best book to recommend to anyone.
