Jane Austen is always a pleasent read. Even though it's my least favourite of the Austen's romances, I still quite enjoyed it.

El enamorado: Coronel Brandon = Mr. Darcy
El interés: Marianne = Elizabeth
Manzana de la discordia: Willoughby = Wickham
La perjudicada: Eliza = Georgiana
Inevitable, no comparar. Es prácticamente el mismo plot, excepto que la pobre Eliza sí que salió bien perjudicada.
Slow, so slow burn que duele. No fue sino hasta mitad de libro que comenzó a moverse un poco más.
Tenía más sentido que Elinor terminara con el Coronel, pero bueno.
Terminé el libro y fui a ver por primera vez la película de 1995. Y debo decir que me gustó más, se desarrollaron más las emociones de los hombres. Le dieron personalidad a Edward y justicia a los sentimientos de Brandon. Pues, en la novela, ambos brillan por su ausencia.

enjoyable, but the ending felt a little rushed. austen succeeds at a decent satire whilst also making a competent romance, with a very distinct style and character. however, i do wish she wouldn’t have so many sub-clauses in her sentences. while her language is eloquent and often delightful, she does love to make a single sentence run for almost half a page!

I loved this even more the second time I read it!
I first read this book right after hearing the news about Alan Rickman. I think he is the superior Colonel Brandon and an amazing actor.
While rereading this story, I was able to see little hints and bits I had missed during my initial read. I could see how cunning Lucy is, how much Brandon loved Marianne, and Marianne's personal growth. I also really enjoyed how my opinion of John Dashwood changed. I hated him the first time around and in the movie/mini series adaptations, but this read had me almost liking him. I also didn't dislike Lady Middleton as much either.
All in all, this is such a lovely story and it fills my heart so much.

one thing about jane austen is she knows how to write an oldest daughter. elinor is so me vibes.
i love colonel brandon 🫶
personally did not see the appeal of edward bc i feel like even those he’s supposed to be the love of elinor’s life i knew next to nothing abt him 😭 other than that he was shy and had a “good heart”… i would like proof of this please!
