A review by taya_bel
Emma by Jane Austen

5.0

Wonderfully exceeded my expectations! I love it even more than Pride and Prejudice (the only other Austen novel I’ve read thus far). Initially, I was not into it that much since I knew already that it would follow the storyline of the movie ‘Clueless’. But after 1/3 of the book, I was hooked with the arrival of Frank Churchill. I was shocked at how much I liked it since I read read mixed reviews on this novel going into it- either people love it or hate it 50/50. I enjoyed how Emma was a flawed character and how she became a bit more self aware as the novel went on. Great character arch for her and how Harriet matured throughout the novel. A beautiful happy ending too!


Note to self: I read the book a tiny bit, but mostly did audiobook.
