Pickpick

Not entirely sure how to rate or review this. I really liked the writing style which is important to me, and there‘s a lot to unpack here so I‘m glad I finished it. But I didn‘t enjoy the second half. I kept wanting to scream at the characters like I was watching a b movie. Not sure I would have stuck with it if it wasn‘t a #pemberlittens #chapteraday read, and it was definitely @BarkingMadRead ‘s hashtags that kept it enjoyable, so huge thanks!

BarkingMadRead Glad I could help lol 2y
SarahBookInterrupted @BarkingMadRead same for me! I would have bailed too. I‘m glad I finished it, but it‘s not a pick for me. I gave it a so-so. 2y
Ruthiella OMG @BarkingMadRead ‘s hashtags were hilarious! 😂 #Thiswholebookisacoincident (edited) 2y
BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella I‘m glad they helped!! 2y

Clare-Dragonfly I‘m going to say it: Paul is acting like an abuser! Constantly giving his affection and taking it away, and then throwing her to other people who are nasty to her. Ugh! I still don‘t think they‘re going to get married because they‘re talking about treating each other like brother and sister, but all the other language sounds very romantic. In a gross way. 2y
BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly everything about this is so wrong! He calls her sister but they definitely don‘t act like siblings! 2y
KristiAhlers Yeah I‘m not getting warm fuzzies at all. Then again it‘s a Brontë story so warm fuzzies generally aren‘t a thing. Sigh. 2y
Bklover I think the brother- sister thing is creepy because I don‘t really think that is what he has in mind! I also don‘t think Charlotte Brontë likes men very much! 2y
Ruthiella Yes, the coinkydinks are eyebrow raising…🙄 Her some what sadistic relationships with M. Paul isn‘t too unlike Jane and Rochester, however. 2y
Clare-Dragonfly @Bklover Yeah, I don‘t think any of the Brontë sisters ever met any decent men, considering how even the heroes of their novels are such jerks! 2y
BarkingMadRead @Bklover @Ruthiella @Clare-Dragonfly I totally agree, very much like Jane and Rochester in the very worst way. It‘s so unnatural. I have a feeling I will be throwing this book at a wall at some point 🤣 2y
