Made me feel so bitter how fast Emma

went from "my dear, sweet Harriet, who deserves the world" to "this arrogant, wothless girl I wish I'd never met" when she found out Harriet was harbouring hopes of being loved by Mr Knightley

Emma is so iconic. Our girl cannot stop making a mess of things

The pacing isn't as good in this one (sometimes infodumping, sometimes there's long stretches of nothing) but overall it was a silly time with a very overdramatic vain meddlesome protagonist (affectionate)
