By far my favorite Jane Austen work. She’s actually fucking hilarious.

It took me a long long time to get into it, but when I finally did, I enjoyed it. In my opinion, out of the three Jane Austen books I have read so far, it is the third best, but that doesn't mean that I didn't like it at all!

No podría contradecir que la obra de Jane Austen hace parte de los clásicos imperdibles. En mi caso, lo que más disfruto son las reflexiones entretejidas con cada personaje y circunstancia. El toque sutil de ridiculizar esa sociedad, su superficialidad, hipocresía a través de ciertas situaciones es muy interesante. La escritura de Austen, su manera de articular sentimientos, pensamientos y ahondar en los reinos profundos del autoconocimiento, me encanta.
Sin embargo, con este tercera novela leída de Austen aún no me deja tal impacto como para declararme fan de sus obras....esta media alta sociedad me empalaga y me repela y creo que en Sentido y Sensibilidad mucho más.

It was cute, i liked this more than other feminist books from this time period. Although i wiuld struggle much more with reading this on paper than listening on audio, as i did.
I always mixed up characters though, seeing as it's always mr or miss or mrs, but i figure thats mainly because of only listening to the names, and honestly it wasnt that important who said what.
It is clear however, that the main plot and all side plots are just products on miscommunication mostly, that can get a little aggravating.

This novel had a lot of little aspects of plot or characters that were similar to pride and prejudice that made my read of the novel less enjoyable I felt like I was constantly finding similarities and comparing the two. Although I did like the relationship between the sisters more favorably in this novel. My love for there relationship was slow to build. This novel really lacked the romance for me. I was very confused by the final pairing/ ending so convenient personally. I feel like Brandon and Elinor would have more likely ended up together since when Brandon came to visit them in London he only interacted/talked with Elinor. Even though he would have been settling it gave kinda Jo, Laurie and Amy vibes. Edward didn’t really do anything to win my affection. Brandon was the one to steel my heart by trying to provide a living for Edward and Lucy.
