Lady Susan is wickedly amusing, a bit scandalous, and worth a read for everyone. The other two, both unfinished works, are interesting for Austen fans. The Watsons had promise; sort of felt P&P-ish. Sanditon was more broadly comedic and satirical but the characters weren’t very interesting yet. Who knows what might have been? I’m glad I finally read this. It had been on my TBR list for years.

This book contains Sanditon, Lady Susan, and The Watsons, all books/drafts that were never completed.
Lady Susan - SO GOOD. Jane Austen's only epistolary work... I LOVED this. Susan is such a fun character!

The Watsons - I didn't love this as much. I would've read the thing if it was completed and probably enjoyed it but it was my least favorite part of this collection.

Sanditon - This was also SO fun. I would've loved to read a whole damn thing.

Y'all I love Jane Austen and am not ashamed lol
