I have to come clean. I just don't like Jane Austen. I'm prepared to be shunned by my book club this evening for my failings.
I honestly don't have much to say. This book was so fucking boring it took me an entire month to read. I didn't like any of the characters and all of the scenes and all of the conversations were way too long.
But the main reason I can't recommend this is how fucking gross the main romance is. Emma is 21 (ish) and Knightley is 37 (ish) and HE TELLS HER HE HAS BEEN IN LOVE WITH HER SINCE SHE WAS THIRTEEN. WHICH MEANS WHEN HE WAS TWENTY FOUR HE WAS IN LOVE WITH A CHILD. I HATE THIS. I CANNOT CONTINUE. NO MORE AUSTEN.
