Yes, I know she just writes the same story over and over, which usually doesn't bother me because she's got a cutting witty only slightly more subtle than Wilde's. But even I couldn't buy this ending. May herald the end of my current Austen phase.

I’d never read an Austen - or seen a film adaptation - until this year and am unexpectedly hooked. Bury me in mountains upon mountains of that gentle 18th century prose, y’all! A balm for the soul in these Strange and Unnerving times...
Bonus: Austen’s a bit of an anti-establishment shit-talker - who knew! (probably everyone, but me) - so, like, come for said gentle prose, but stay for the social commentary.

What can one say about a classic that hasn't already been said?
I found the characters of Marianne and Elinor to be quite likable, despite Marianne's dramatics. The love stories are satisfying and all end up happy in the end.
I did feel the end of this book was rushed to sum up all the relationships, whether other parts are quite vividly described.
