This was such a great read (and also the sanest Brontë novel so far)! I'm a little disappointed by some people reducing it to a 'Christian Romance', I mean, the book came out in 1847. What to do you expect? Tattooed, badass girls wearing Fuck the Patriarchy T-shirts? I'm an atheist but still enjoyed it a lot.
Sure, Agnes complains a little too much. But again, when you have todeal with a kid plucking birds' feathers while they're alive and a teenage girl playing with your darling's heart, I'm sure you're allowed to be bitter.
My only complain is the ending. It, kind of felt a little too rushed..? When I finished the book, I thought to myself, 'Is that it?'. I would have liked to see more of Agnes and Weston being together instead of a little brief-up.
