The plot sounds very simple and to some degree even cliche, but it's actually a very unique story and very enjoyable. The characters have personalities and the story is simple and fun. It even made me almost cry at one point. And I really enjoyed the relationship between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy.
Highly recommend it to anyone who likes romance and drama, as well as really nicely written characters. Austen's style of writing is really beautiful and fun, which just adds to how great this book is. Looking forward to reading more of her works. :)

Additionally, while it does technically suit Mrs Bennet's character, the narrator's voice for her was unbearably agitated and shrill, which made it hard to listen to at points.

This was my introduction to Jane Austen and it wasn't a bad one, though I'd say, exclusively as a story, it's somewhat overrated. It felt like, even though things were always happening, everything was the same? Maybe that's me not liking this setting and age for its formalities and etiquette (and the aristocracy), but it felt very still. Again, I thank the audiobook version, for if I had read the actual book, I would have probably DNF-ed it.
It wasn't a "wow" for me, but it wasn't a "meh" either, so it counts as a win in my book! (And besides, it's one more classic to my "read" list!! 😎)
