“he never even believed himself to see her equal… her character was now fixed on his mind as perfection itself, maintaining the loveliest medium of fortitude and gentleness.” oh, captain wentworth, you romantic!

I think this is the quickest I have ever read a classic novel before. I really enjoyed this book! Anne's character was enjoyable and quite relatable - I was rooting for her the whole time. Wentworth was captivating and I enjoyed how they both explored other love interests, but always knew their hearts were set for one another. The second chance romance kind of trope really pulled me in and made me want to read the novel as I feel it's not something you see a lot in classic literature. I have to say that I think this is my favourite of Jane Austen's novels that I have read so far (pride and prejudice, Emma and persuasion). Overall, I'm not one to overly enjoy classic novels (though I read them), but this one I certainly did enjoy.
