Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen

3.0

---

It was good, but I guess having read her other more popular books first just left me expecting more. I do wish there was a littleeee more plot around the abbey, but it was Austen poking fun at gothic literature which I do feel she achieved. All I can say is I smelt the plot a mile away, and the plot twist effect was lost on me, I'm sure if I couldn't tell where the story was headed it would've been a higher ranking for me. God one thing she achieved was making me annoyed at the Thorpes omg, did John annoy me, not even Darcy annoyed me this much and he called Elizabeth plain looking to her face lmao. Isabella was at least a little likable regardless of the fact she was such a liar and so fake. Overall, I really did love Catherine as a character, she's lowkey me... read too much and delude myself into thinking it'll happen to me talk about a #hopelessromantic. Anyways, it's hard to hate Austen novels as a romance genre lover.
