While this is pretty light on story, it's charming, funny and filled with lovable characters. Reading this, you're pretty much just watching some neighbors overcoming their predjudice against each over and growing very dear to one another. The characters are all very distinct and memorable, they're a bit like Dickens characters but in a Jane Austen inspired novel. Also, some of the lines delighted me way more than they probably should.
