probably my favorite Jane Austen novel thus far! Anne Elliot for the win.

Another Austen classic, though I didn’t think this one held as much of the intrigue as others.

Austen has done it again with this book. It is absolutely brilliant and the way the men speak had me swooning. It has so much humor and I found myself chuckling a lot, especially the portrayal of her family. It does have a bit of the miscommunication trope, but I can’t blame them because they don’t live in the days of technology. Rumors couldn’t very well get sorted out easily.
