3.75 but only if compared to other Austen's books I read, otherwise it's a solid 4.5 read. I had some issues in falling in love with the protagonist, so different from all the other young ladies described by Austen in her previous stories. Sometimes I even forgot about her while the story was developing.
The first part of the book was a bit slow, but the second was in pure Austen-revealing-all-the-drama-style that I enjoy so much.
The more I read her novels the more I'm amazed by how she was such a bright and strong woman, absolutely ahead of her time and still relatable and relevant nowadays.
