CW/TW: Racism (minor)
Age Rating: 12+
The writing was a bit hard to understand (it was written 200 years ago). Once you get a hold of the language, the book was fantastic. It was so witty and funny, and I enjoyed it so much.
The characters were great. I loved all of them, except Mrs. Elton, but she was meant to be unlikeable. Jane Austen is amazing at creating interesting, complex characters. I liked how Emma's flaws were at the forefront and that she wasn't a perfect character. I also loved how done Mr. Knightly was with Emma's antics.I think their opposing personalities made their relationship better.
