I read this as part of the Game of Tomes Book Club organized by CarolynMarieReads and emmiereads over on Youtube.
 

This was my second Austen novel and I enjoyed it a lot! I found it to be very funny and the main character is so innocent at first, to the point I had to actually stop and reflect if she was naive or if I was understanding the text wrongly, but, no she was naive indeed! However, she is still a very loveable character and so are Elanor and Henry. I really enjoyed the moments these three were together, although I kind of hated Isabella, she was a b-word. Same with the General, what a rude man. 
Overall the book was very enjoyable and I can't wait to pick up another of Austen's novels!
