Some elements of the story are reminding me of Jane Eyre at this point 🥹 which I love. It is a gothic novel after all.

I knew what to expect, but still, the slow descent into debauchery is making me a little depressed… Like I wanted the characters to have more willpower or something, it makes me disappointed in a way. Alas, I expect it will only get worse from here onwards…

It is one of the most engaging books I’ve read in a long time though!!

I’m about to be so pissed off if Matilda doesn’t fuck off soon…
