I thought it would be a solid 4-star. However, the characters' reactions to things that happen later in the book, specifically regarding events that center around Fanny, threw me a loop and made me want to die. Poor Fanny is all I can say; it felt like she was being gaslit, and I was so stressed.

I enjoyed it overall a lot more than I have other Jane Austen books I've read, not that they were bad, I just overall enjoyed this more.

Bro, Charles is a dick.

Me when they both die at the end in the book they both die at the end.

This book hurt me

“This isn't a slow burn, it's just burn.” -my friends interpretation of me ranting about this book.

I was so infuriated while reading it. Not that it's a bad book at all, but I enjoyed it in a masochistic way, you know? Like I was tweaking throughout it, like I just wanted them to be happy and then they were constantly miserable and then the constant miscommunication just AAAAAAAA
