I love the story. However, I made the mistake of watching the movie before reading the book. I wasn't prepared for the long sentences which have the unfortunate habit of making it difficult to read and easy to daydream. However, I finished the last 100 pages or so in a few hours, so my interest picked up towards the end.

Ugh this is really hard. I wanted to love this book so so much. But I had a very hard time getting through this book, unfortunately. I had to start over 3 times before I finally finished. It was fine in the end, but it felt like homework for me to get through it. I listened to the audiobook and I found that it was best for me to listen while I was cleaning house, etc. i.e. not letting my brain do anything else so I could focus on the book.

This was amazing.. I loved Pride and Prejudice, and this one was even better. I'd read that the movie Clueless was based on this novel & I can completely see it.

I listened to the audiobook of this, and it was pretty good.
