I loved the book, however I didn't love the treatment of poor Charlotte.

There is such a double standard in the way Elizabeth treats her versus Wickham in regards to marrying for stability and fortune. She immediately accepts that he would marry up, but she looks down on Charlotte for not choosing a love match. She lets it affect their friendship, despite claiming that she is her best friend. Instead of being happy for her so-called friend she tries to find every reason that she will be unhappy.

It just makes me angry.
