I admit that I have only read Emma once and haven’t seen a single adaptation. Therefore, I cannot speak to much about how closely it resembles the original. I noticed some things that I remember and it was fun to see those allusions.

The romance was really solid. I liked the slow burn, childhood friends to lovers vibes. There’s good banter and heat and I loved Knightley’s alpha side that popped up occasionally.

Emma wasn’t my favorite and drove me a bit wild, but I think that was supposed to be part of her charm and it didn’t ruin the story for me. I thought it was a quick audiobook that kept me engaged and was a contemporary romance I’d easily recommend to others.

Overall audience notes:
- Contemporary Romance
- Language: some strong
- Romance: 2-3 open door
- Violence: low
- Trigger/Content Warnings: loss of a mother mentioned, attempted unwanted romantic advances
