Saw someone's review say:
Reading this book felt like listening to a friend go on over and over again about drama that exists solely because they’ve been reading too much into other people’s lives.
And I completely agree.
I wanted to love this book, because it is such a classic, and I appreciate Jane Austen for the icon she is. But this book bored me to tears. I switched to the audiobook about 50% through because I just couldn't do it anymore, but wanted to finish it due to wanting to read Most Ardently and some other books based on either Austen's work or Pride & Prejudice. Every character in this book grated on my nerves and the dialogues are unending. The only thing they do is yap about virtue and honor and what other people migth think of them.
