Emma by Jane Austen

3.0

🌸 Emma by Jane Austen 🌸 

I have wanted to read this classic since seeing the 2019 film (which I enjoyed). When I tried to read “Wuthering Heights” earlier this year, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to read classics because of the challenge. But I’m happy to say “Emma” was a MUCH easier read than “Wuthering Heights”.

“Emma” was light hearted and funny and made me slow down (both because it was difficult to read and because it was a long read) and really enjoy the slower storyline it presents. The scope is a little small for my taste. Not a lot happens in such a long story. But I can also recognize that maybe this just isn’t my type of book. 

I’m happy to have gotten through at least one classic this year, haha. But now I don’t feel the need to force myself into another one anytime soon. (Unless it’s for my work’s book club I guess, lol)

3/5 ⭐️
