A review by oihanesaez
Emma by Jane Austen
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
4.0
I enjoyed reading this, even though in romance books I actually like to see more tension or more furtive looks or touches between the lovers or something a little bit more scandalous or drama this book was overall really good.
It was a surprise how unlovable the main character Emma was. She thought herself so superior to everyone else and belittled the working class. She even felt entitled to tell her friend who she should and should not marry and almost made her lose her lover and happiness. But I really liked to hate on Emma lmao.
For me it was really clear from page 1 that the love interest was Mr. Knightley because he talked to highly of her and was the only person who could tell her when she was in the wrong. And the love confession AHHHHH: "if I loved you less I would be able to talk about it more" exquisite.
