This was so good; I absolutely loved the drama! One of my favorite aspects was how Fanny, despite being a textbook people-pleaser, boldly stood up to everyone when they tried to force her into marriage. That contrast in her character made her incredibly compelling.

The humor and wit in the story were brilliant, and Jane Austen’s sharp observations on societal expectations never fail to impress. This is definitely one of Austen's stronger novels in my opinion. However, I still find it incredibly difficult to accept a marriage between first cousins—unless, of course, they're Targaryens!
