Reviews with content warning for Adult/minor relationship - Emma

“Time did not compose her. As she reflected more, she seemed to feel it more.”
Emma was such a bittersweet read for me, because although it was by far my favorite Austen novel, it was also my last time experiencing the joy of her words for the first time. I am very greatful for the reader, and person, I have developed into because of Jane Austen.
Emma is not only a beautiful, gentle love story (albeit with a few flaws of age), but also a whipsmart telling of growing up. The gossip, humor, and absolute blunders that the characters made were so much fun to read. I would highly, highly recommend!

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.
