I spent so much time talking about The Madwoman Upstairs on Snapchat last week that I ended up setting up a YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBv9...) just to contain all my thoughts about it. Most of what popped into my head to talk about were complaints (and boy, did I have a lot of complaints), but I can't deny that I was also really enjoying the book a lot of the time. 
 In terms of pure enjoyment factor, The Madwoman Upstairs probably deserved the one extra star--but I just couldn't bring myself to give it. I am so tired of novels teaching girls to fall in love with the arrogant and controlling arsehole, of romance stories that justify abusive behaviour as love. It's time to stop playing along.
