Please don't skip out on this book however- it is worth the read if you want more Austen, it was just a personal miss.

The plot was slow at the start with the play and the slow paced development. Not much going on until the last 50 pages of the book. Definitely one of the more mature books by Jane Austen. Dealt with mature themes and it’s so weird to see how unfair society treated women.
Characters are meh, did not particularly care for any of them.
Moderate: Infidelity

Jane Austen’s third novel is the most polarizing review-wise, so I was a tad skeptical going in. That being said, the complexities and depth of Mansfield Park is unlike anything in her extensive resume, creating a unique but still amazing read.
Mansfield Park follows Fanny Price, the daughter of a lower to middle class nuclear family, who moves in with her extremely wealthy extended family. Through the exploration of desire, wealth, and ultimately corruption, the “outsider” narrative perspective provides and outlook of society which has stood the test of time today.
Out of all the Austen heroines I have read so far, I think Fanny is my favorite. Where Elizabeth Bennett is fearless and out-spoken, Fanny is timid and shy. These qualities-paired with a good heart and constant anxiety-make her both relatable and lovable.
