this book felt like a rollercoaster, took me ages to get through as i found therese to be so unlikeable and childish at the start (forgetting that she was 19), that i just got in a slump with this the book. the past couple of days reading this though has been enchanting i loved reading therese’s character arc of change and becoming settled as a woman. her thoughts became more genuine and less obsessive. 
probably won’t read it again but it’s definitely a breath of fresh air to get a happy ending.
