It took my time to read this on purpose, it my first reading Jane Austen and I wanted to give it the proper attention. I only read when I was awake and concentrated enough.
Overall it was an enjoyable experience. As to the characters, well Emma, there’re so many reasons to dislike her and yet you grow attached to her. I was at many times so sad of Harriet’s treatment, I really enjoyed her except for her worship of Emma. I do understand these things were done on purpose but I’m merely talking about how I felt about those things.
I loved the romance, I started rooting for them at like 60% of the book. I quite like how the story ends actually.
But Emma didn’t rock my world which is why this is three stars. Solid read would recommend but I’m not overly amazed.

This book is kind of interesting to me, because it was well-written and clever and funny, but like 90% of the time I was reading it I would much rather be reading a different book. But like I don’t regret reading it.
It was extremely boring at times and it took me a long time and lots of discipline to get through, but I had kind of a good time. The good outweighs the bad just enough to make it slightly higher than a neutral 2.5 stars.
There was nothing that made me angry or irritated with the book, which is a fair enough feat in itself, and I really liked relating with the characters in such a lighthearted and stakes-free way.

I think I enjoyed this as much as Pride and Prejudice. I love a friends to lovers romance, so that aspect was great for me. I thought the insufferable characters were less insufferable than some other Austen novels, and the quirks of characters were more endearing to me than annoying. Miss Bates never annoyed me, I just loved her. My only complaint I think is with the classism, but that's a product of the time.

The only slur in this book is the g-word for Romani people in one portion of narrative. Rather jarring for first-time readers since the rest of the book is quite wholesome.singalana's review against another edition
