Emma by Jane Austen
5.0
Pride & Prejudice will always have a special place in my heart, but it now has to share the gold medal of Austen novels with Emma.
First of all, there are so many amazing characters in this. I loved just about every one of them, but of course Mr. Woodhouse is, and will always be, my king. I just see so much of myself in his anxious, comfort-loving self.
Also, the romance is surprisingly mature. The way that Emma and Mr. Knightley's romance advances feels very natural and realistic, and I love how they are able to point when the other is behaving wrongly (though that would be Emma most of the time).
Lastly, it's funny as hell.
