I really really liked this.
It was hard to get into at first since I’ve never read an English book this old, so I struggled to understand. But it got better over time. And the story was worth it. There’s so much nuance in Austen’s writing. The characters and story are so well crafted and inspired me to learn about this time period. It’s probably my favourite classic I’ve ever read.
(Also, how could you not love Mr. Darcy. Come on, he’s the blue print.)
The reason why it’s not higher rated is that the ending felt a little too short for me, I would’ve liked to learn a bit more about how their future is going to be. Also that there was too much focus on unlikeable side characters and not enough on the romance.
