A review by ellaep
Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen

3.5

I love Jane Austen’s writing, she’s so funny yall. And this story was really sweet, following a young and naive girl as she grows into a world of friends, balls and parties. She loves scary novels, and knows very few people, so her view of people and their motivations are a little skewed. But she learns and she grows, and I love that in a heroine! She gets be wrong and make mistakes, which is something I appreciate in Jane Austen’s books a lot. The main characters sometimes make stupid mistakes just like real people do, and get worried or embarrassed about things they’ve said. So relatable for a book written so many years ago
