I love this extended musical metaphor for the symphony of lyrical poetry and prose that is Shakespeare! ❤️ #HashtagBrigade #Shirley #Chapter6

I took a Utopian/Dystopian lit class in undergrad — 1000 years ago. This was one of the books we read. I remember liking it, but I‘m finding I remember nothing about it at all! #audiowalk

Girls' trip!!!! Shirley is feeling pretty fond of Caroline and invites her away on a whirlwind trip to some Scottish lochs, and is it normal to be jealous of a fictional character from over a hundred years ago? Meanwhile, Robert continues to toy with Caroline's affections and, just, what is his DEAL?? #HashtagBrigade #CarolineGiveHimUp #GetWithShirleyInstead #TheyWereRoomates #INeedATripToScotland #WheresMyRichFriend

willaful Oh man, I was too tired to finish the chapter last night and I missed all the drama! 13h
dabbe The drama is majorly escalating! 12h
lil1inblue @willaful I got the Emma vibes from the first half of this chapter. 12h
willaful I so want to reach into this book and smack Robert upside his head! #hestheworst! 12h
Bookwormjillk Robert grrrrrrr. Also Uncle grrrrrr. 12h
willaful @lil1inblue first half Emma, second half Persuasion - but Robert is no Wentworth! 11h
ElizaMarie I can't with Robert! 10h
mcctrish I think Robert is in love with Caroline 8h
BarbaraJean @mcctrish He may be, but he's being an ass about it. And I think he loves his success/a stable future more. 8h
mcctrish @BarbaraJean oh I for sure don‘t think he can handle it at all or even understands what the feeling is - no one seems to marry for love, so he‘s probably never even seen it and all the men around him are misogynists and trash talking women - he ( and by him I mean Caroline) doesn‘t stand a chance 8h
Clare-Dragonfly ROBERT!!!! Quit leading your poor cousin on! Ugh, she can‘t even get her mind back to her exciting Scotland trip. 8h
Clare-Dragonfly I hope Shirley and Caroline go to Scotland and get swept off their feet by wealthy Scottish gentlemen who marry them and leave Robert in the DUST. 7h
Ruthiella Robert is a quintessential Charlotte Brontë hero. He‘s an arrogant jerk who loves keeping Caroline hanging. I have also an idea that Mrs. Pryor is really Caroline‘s mother. She‘s still alive, right? Either that or Caroline‘s mother is rich and dies and Caroline is an unexpected heiress.? 2h
Bklover @Ruthiella That would be great!!!!! (edited) 1h

This started off well but I just couldn't get into it fully. The world building wasn't developed enough to make the world make sense. I understand that this was written for children but it leaves you with more questions than answers. I did like Badger though, he was a bit too relatable.

Shirley and Caroline are getting to be friends and have great talks about Yorkshire, nature, poetry, and love...but Shirley will. not. stop bringing up Robert Moore. Girl is fishing and even though I genuinely like her so far, it is so irritating. #MindYourBusinessShirl #GoWhistleAHappyTune #StayFocusedOnYourMill #WhatDoesHisLetterSay #HashtagBrigade
