It really is a book about people going to each other's houses!! XD
But it's so fun and dramatic and can't believe Jane Austen was a classic author who didn't write like one, and the humor is so witty and realistic and familiar that it feels so easy to feel right at home, I'm honestly craving more classics like this, and romance that's pure and clean like this! I will savour the remaining Jane Austen books I have and definitely get the ones I dont very soon!

I could not stand any of the characters! So um yeah.
Meh….
I really tried to like it. I’ve heard so many great things about this story, but, it bored me to tears :(
underwhelming as fuck
3 stars simply because it’s a classic, and the writing was beautiful.

The first time I tried to read this I wasn't very familiar with the prose style of classics, so I had a hard time getting through it. Around five chapters in, I happened to get a free trial to Audible for a class, so I listened to the audiobook instead of reading it. When my trial ran out I never finished it.
Coming back to it over a year later, I had a much easier time following the story, maybe because of my familiarity with the characters, since that's what usually trips me up in these stories. While I do prefer stories with more amped up drama and tragedy, this is a beautiful and excellently-plotted narrative.
It wasn't a particularly thrilling read, but I think it shines most through its characters. All the characters are really well-developed and their relationships are as well. I especially love the two protagonists for their wit and their stubbornness. Although I wouldn't say this is the funniest classic I've read from this time period, it was an amusing read.
I think this is a book that has a great, gradual build-up and rewarding payoff. Great for people who don't mind a slow read and love a thoughtful story.
