All in all it is a great book but I don't think it is just as good as other works by Jane Austen. I loved how she created this kind of villain and especially the way Lady Susan deals with her daughter made me loathe her so much. Frederica definitely deserved better. Another thing I enjoyed were the characters in general, the soft and shy Frederica, the lovable Catherine etc. I just believe that the characters could have had more depth which is complicated, I admit, since the book is so short but the way that it is written would have allowed it. The whole concept of a book telling a story trough letters is ingenious and I really adored it. You could really imagine them writting those letters passionately. A quite decent book.

I did not know this was actually an epistolary roller-coaster, it 100% reads like having personal knowledge of a grifter, seeing them succeed on the internet with their lies, and being unable to prevent it. I was stressed, even.
