Started off a bit slow but once I got about 40 pages in I fell in love! The story would drag at times and I’d lose a bit of focus but overall I loved it. I have sooo many passages marked-the writing was beautiful and the relationships *swoon* 😍

This was my very first Austen and I can’t believe I waited so long to read her novels! I’ll be slowly adding her works to my shelves so I can continue my Austen education.

I love the way Jane Austen writes. She’s so funny and observant and, occasionally, so severe. I cannot WAIT for the movie adaptation with Sarah Snook. Captain Wentworth’s letter to Anne was (obviously) a highlight for me: “You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope.” SAME.
