lifesrichpageant's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH

i checked this out from the library at the same time i had outlander checked out and i couldn’t finish them both in the amount of time i had.

3.5 stars from me!

It was amazing how modern the book read to me, this is a story that could happen in any time period. It is clear why Austen set the standard and formula for romantic comedies for the next 300 years.
emotional lighthearted tense medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

my second favourite Austen, after Emma of course

Thought I would read this because how Netflix apparently butchered this masterpiece. And boy, were the reviewers right. What a beautiful and very slow burning novel with a gentle, kind character.

God, I love this book.
