So slow 😭 but good. I'm not entirely sure I absorbed everything 

This was so silly and enjoyable. A whole lot of humor. This means I have finished the big six of her works!! here is my ranking
1. Pride and Prejudice
2. Persuasion
3. Emma
4. Northanger Abbey
5. Sense and Sensibility
6. Mansfield Park

odd and delightful. 

MC was a little too "I'm not like other girls" in a way that didn't seem entirely intentional which was kinda annoying (tho I guess in this instance, she was ...literally not like the other girls). As other ppl have noted, i think this book would have been stronger if it was longer.

Never have I gone from :) to  🙄 so quickly reading a book. The ending made me soooooo annoyed. 

getting angsty because your gf won't out herself in regency era UK where her parents have the ability to institutionalize her or force her to marry is WILD and to act like forsaking literally all respectable society is as reasonable as pretending to be in a hetero relationship on the rare occurrences you attend society functions is so dumb. ALSO, because the baron is foreign.....they could just get married and the 'baron' could return to his foreign lands for 'business' and she could then go on to forge a close and nonsuspicious relationship to his family...... UGHHHHH I was really loving this book until this ridiculous 'conflict'. The whole "everyone is actually super accepting and fine with everything felt so cheap and silly

 :(((((

god, I already know how this is gonna end from reading the Silmarillion but i still found myself hoping for a different outcome

 

The side romances were not my fave

I'm too old for this lolol

the audiobook is hard to pay attention to :(
