I worked to finish this book out of sheer spite and desire to improve my reading comprehension. I read this book because I wanted something AP Literature-esque and it did not disappoint. The whole time, it felt like I was reading a historical SAT passage. Not that it’s a bad thing! Not the type of book I read for fun but was enjoyable, especially the juicy bits. It was nice to read something written in a different style. This is the first of Austen’s work I’ve read so I don’t have anything else to compare it to.
