Absolutely loved this book. I could overlook some of the dated things such as classism and misoginy, but one aspect just absolutely revolted me.

I hated that Mr. Knightley basically groomed Emma and that he was so much older than her. I loved their chemistry however and predicted their match from early on, but I just wished he had not seen her grow up!


I actually regretted starting this a bit, but only because I've heard this is one of Austen's best works and I don't want to be disappointed by her other books because I loved this one so much
