I think this is one of Jane Austen's wittiest works. The narrator is more present in this story than in any of her other works.

it ain’t no pride and prejudice, but she’ll do

You would hardly believe me if I told you everything that didn't happen in this book. Indeed, it was a bit of a nothing book. Austen's writing was witty as always, and in this one especially humorous. But the story utterly failed to compel me, and I am left feeling like I just took a tepid bath.

Funny, short, Austen is definitely very talented in making us hate some characters. A good introduction to her work and very good book recommendations inside too.
