A really lovely story that reminded me a bit of a grown-up Regency Cinderella. The characters were easy to love or mock, depending on their function to the story. I really appreciated the smart dialogue on gender relations, as well as class commentary of the era.

This probably will now tie with P&P for my favorite Austen novel. The story and Anne's character are so relatable that I almost felt I was reading about myself. Beautifully written and romantic. I'm glad I finally read it!
