I liked this book a lot, only reason its not 5 stars is because i had to read it for school, resulting in me analysing it for 3 weeks.
the character development of Catherine is probably my favourite aspect of this novel by Jane Austen. at the beginning of the novel catherine is unopinionated and very passive. 
in part 2 of the novel we see catherines development as she becomes for opinionated, especially towards thorpe.

 I love this story, Austen's humour really shines through from the first line to the last. Following Catherine was a delight, and Henry is further cementing my conplete adoration of Austen heroes and the narrator putting themself into the story, is my favourite.

I loved her youthfulness, her love of stories and her growth. And that it follows a different trajectory then many of Austen's stories.

 •Diferente dos outros livros da Jane Austen que eu já li esse foi o que tem um romance mas que não foi necessariamente um livro de romance, esse livro foi literalmente uma paródia de romances góticos da época com a Jane Austen colocando sua própria voz em vários momentos enquanto narrava a história.
•O livro tem um clima bom, com personagens diferenciados e que fazem você mudar de opinião sobre eles várias vezes no decorrer da história.
•A personagem principal é bem bobinha no início da história (ao ponto que o par romântico dela se diverte com isso as vezes) e me fez me perguntar como os pais dela criaram ela assim mas acabou dando um clima de comédia para mim.
