This book was a lot better than I thought it would be. It sucked me in from the get-go, the setting was very vivid, and I was interested the entire time. I found Scarlett terrible to sympathize with as her attitude was horrendous, but despite that I still found the story riveting all the way through. Seeing her ruin things for herself but also work hard to make things work was part of the interest I had, but in addition to that the characters themselves were quite unique and their relationships with each other were wonderful. Melanie was a great character but Rhett stole the show, making me love him even though he loved the hard to love Scarlett. It was hard to see how their love went through so many twists and turns, especially after how it all ended, but it was still a great book and so perfectly told.
