The first ever Gothic novel written! Fascinating!

I often find classics difficult and shrouded in high school memories (because it was obligatory to read them), but this one I could read relatively easily. Theodore was such a gem 😂 

Also, men 🙂‍↔️ Imagine having your son die and because you’re so anxious about your lineage not being passed on, trying to force your hand onto your son’s wife! 😫

Quite the rollercoaster, I must say. I’m giving it 3 out of 5 stars, thank you ✨

This book is Romeo & Juliet meets gothic. It's a classic novel so it has its flaws and clichés - women keep fainting for everything; other women immediately assume that they are dead... the usual.

In some parts is very confusing, a lot of characters with weird intentions and very melodramatic.

Overall, this book was not amazing but it was entertaining.
