I liked the characters and story of this book but I'm not a big classics reader so I struggled with the writing style/wording at times which meant I never got fully immersed in the story and was always aware I was reading. This made it feel slower than it was. However, I did find the characters interesting and at times quite funny. I enjoyed learning about the connections between families and Austens critique of their daily life. I also appreciated the feminist angle at the end, especially for when it was written.
Overall, I can see why it is a classic but I struggled to fully enjoy it.
