I don't know how I feel about this honestly, on one hand, I love Anne. I relate to Anne a lot and I love seeing her character growth throughout the story. I love Austen's writing in general, I don't think I've disliked any of her books.

But at the same time I found with this one that if you've read any other Austen or even have watched adaptations then you kind of know how this story goes beat for beat and I just found that I was wanting something a bit more from this.

Still enjoyed it just wasn't blown away.
