The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde - UPDATED REVIEW

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde  Genre : Classics Blurb (on back of book) : Oscar Wilde’s only novel is the dreamlike story of a young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty. In this celebrated work Wilde forged a devastating portrait of the effects of evil and debauchery on a young aesthete in late-19th-century England. Combining elements of the Gothic horror novel and decadent French fiction, the book centers on a striking premise: As Dorian Gray sinks into a life of crime and gross sensuality, his body retains perfect youth and vigor while his recently painted portrait grows day by day into a hideous record of evil, which he must keep hidden from the world. For over a century, this mesmerizing tale of horror and suspense has enjoyed wide popularity. It ranks as one of Wilde's most important creations and among the classic achievements of its kind.

absolutely LOVE Bridgerton Season 2! the slow burn is insane
also loving Beverly Hills, 90210. Yes, I know it's old.


so guys....

I'm 99.9% sure I am going to UC BERKELEY!!! While this month may have been one of the worst of my life, with acceptance rates at basically all of my schools going below 10%, I am super happy about Cal and am excited! I have one decision left tomorrow but there's really no hope there so I will probably be studying history at Cal!!!

Also, I think I did pretty good with reading this month. To try to get my mind off of everything, I did read a lot of fun romances, but I will try to read more books of "substance" next month, now that my stress is 40% gone!

Overall, goodbye March. Thank god.
HELLO APRIL!!
