There’s no one like Jane Austen when it comes to writing about annoying and insufferable characters, people that you love to hate. This charming short novel, told through letters, is a delightful read.

A very fun an entertaining read that you can do in a day or two.
"...too old to be agreeable, too young to die.”
So unlike Austen's other works, but utterly amusing and clever.
Susan is the definition of a gaslight, gatekeep, girl boss MILF.

Short and sweet for Jane Austen, I really enjoyed the full commitment to the epistolery style, which her full length novels usually only have bits and pieces of. The ending however was very rushed and out of style with the rest of the novel.
Lady Susan as an antagonist was very fun, Austen handles her female instigators in a fun way that isn't too common in novels of her time.

What a character, my first time engaging to the thoughts of an adulterous anti-heroine! Comedic features were all over these letters, for sadness and distress were not absent as well. Though all her companions and parties were to be pitted, my heart was stressed for pure Frederica, such a young spirit being wretched by a narcissistic force of a mother.
