A quick, enjoyable listen over a few days of commuting to and from work. I enjoyed trying to connect the story to my (hazy) memory of reading Wuthering Heights, definitely a last minute reveal. I quite liked the ending. For the most part, there was very little plot. They existed. Tabby isn't the most compelling narrator but her naivety never wavers making for a supremely unreliable narrator which I did like. Ultimately a forgettable read, but not a bad way to spend an afternoon.
