I thought this book was a great read. Although, at times I found it difficult to interpret because of the dialect, I still thoroughly enjoyed this. I don't know why but I was shocked at the modern day issues the characters were faced with. The book was not at all what I expected but I liked it better than my expectation anyways.
Surprised that I didn’t love this book. It falls short for me especially compared to how clever and witty Pride and Prejudice is. Didn’t find the character development very satisfying.
A very roundabout story that I liked but didn't love. The love interests were not what I wished and while it's good, I think austen really grew into herself and the exaggeration of her opinions much better.
Sisters Elinor and Marianne debate their views on love and then experience them in real life. It's not the deepest book I've read, but it has some truthful observations about people who believe themselves to be superior (hint: you're not) and true love springing from respect. Elinor's love story is charming.
