Jane Austen's ability to critique the society in which she lived and create a relatable, honest, and diverse cast of female characters is truly amazing.
Sense and Sensibility is an engaging story centered on the lives of two, very different, sisters. Their love for each other, even in the moments when they do not understand each other, is beautiful.
The only reason I gave this four stars rather than five is because I felt the ending was a bit rushed and that a certain ungentlemanly guy deserved a bit harsher critique.
All around, this was a really good story. Classic Austen.
