challenging dark tense fast-paced

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

This was such a difficult and challenging read. Most of my rating goes towards the epistolary style of the book and how authentic the characters felt. I personally feel a bit icky after reading this.

If you don't like so called "unlikeable characters", do not read this book cause everyone in it is awful. But also if you don't like unlikeable characters, get some taste, cause this book is great! I would highly recommend it to any fan of classic lit who often finds themselves disappointed by a lack of well written female villains, as Madame de Merteuil quickly climbed her way up my list of favourites. Okay now I'm just pissed off thinking about all the awful girlbosses sexist ass authors have deprived me of (looking at you Tolstoy)!
