My least favorite Jane Austen's book so far. It lacked a bit of the antics and really strong characters common on her other works. Regardless, it's a really enjoyable read with good social commentaries like always.

Starts off very slowly but that ending more than makes up for it! Anne is such a layered character, I think I'd love her even more on a re-read. And that letter at the end...
Not my favourite Jane Austen for now but definitely the right one to read as an adult, as it becomes easier to relate to more mature characters. I'll revisit it for sure in the future, so I can fully appreciate the nuances of Austen's witty writing.

3/5 pour l'instant, un peu déçue car il ne se passe pas grand chose pendant au moins la moitié du livre...

Nice and well written, but Austin’s proclivity for submissive, meek, self effacing heroines grinds my nerves.
