oh. my. god. (crazy thing happened but I’m very very glad and thankful😶‍🌫️)

"Don't-don't kiss them! O, Frank, I can't bear it - I can't! I love you better than she did: kiss me too, Frank— kiss me! You will, Frank, kiss me too!"

wrap. it. up.

I can’t explain how much I HATE YOU FRANK for making my indestructible and proud Bathsheba into an insecure and mentally miserable Bathsheba!!! YOU SHOULD CONSIDER YOURSELF LUCKY OF BEING WORTHY OF HER LOVE but preferred getting somehow sick of it and blaming her for marrying you…manipulative behavior

I haven’t upgraded that much, but I’m telling you, her obsession for troy must stop. I can’t!! It’s not fair and I’ll never understand, bathsheba i beg you to come to your senses!! This is not love you’re feeling, you don’t know yet what it is!!

‘ We learn that it is not the rays which bodies absorb, but those which they reject, that give them the colours they are known by; and in the same way people are specialized by their dislikes and antagonisms, whilst their goodwill is looked upon as no attribute at all. ‘

Okay, this is it for today, it is SO intriguing I swear (even tho there is a new male interest every single day…GIVE ME GABRIEL)

´ "Gabriel, will you stay on with me?" she said, smiling winningly, and not troubling to bring her lips quite together again at the end, because there was going to be another smile soon.
"I will," said Gabriel.
And she smiled on him again. ‘

This chapter have hit the right spot I fear…

"Of love as a spectacle Bathsheba had a fair knowledge; but of love subjectively she knew nothing."

I am not even in the half of the book but I already have a odd feeling this sequence pretty much sums up the whole book…

oops i’ve wrote the percent on the page placement

it’s great so far, Gabriel is very interesting, his own way of handling problems is actually quite impressive
