Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

5.0

---

The DRAMA. I can't think of a more obvious example that the girls have always loved a love story that gets a little messy. The characters are so well pronounced in their personalities (neurotic mother, bleeding heart sister, slightly out of touch father, etc.) and that really makes the story so enjoyable to read. Elizabeth and Darcy's romance is full of twists and turns but how poignant was it for Jane Austen to write this when women had so little autonomy, and here's Lizzy who technically turns down not one proposal, but two. Feels redundant to give a classic like this a raving review when everything that could be said about it has already been said, but oh well.
