Jane Austen

4.11 AVERAGE


Jane will never fail to give the girlies what they want

Not my favorite Austen (not a lot of face time between the Anne and her manz) but could never go wrong!

i love that even though there's not much dialogue between Anne and Captain Wentworth, you can just understand why they're so in love with each other.
Jane Austen did a phenomenal job of highlighting that feeling when you're in love and your thoughts just naturally drift to the person, and you're looking for them in every room. With so little words focused on Anne and Wentworth's romance, it is truly amazing how Jane Austen is able to show the yearning, jealousy, and bravery both Anne and Wentworth go through.
Overall, I absolutely love both Anne and Wentworth as characters because they have definitely matured over their 8 years apart for the better, and they are each wonderful people who feel real.
I feel like you can tell a love is good when it makes both individuals better, and that's the case with this. It made me so happy when
Spoiler Anne and Wentworth marrying opened up more friendships, rather than closed them. I love the line where Jane Austen writes that Mrs. Smith, instead of losing someone gained another friend.

Anne and Wentworth just make each of their lives better and I'm so here for it.
