•  No está mal, pero no lo recomendaría leer.
•  Es una lectura medio difícil de leer en muchas partes, me costó entender varias conversaciones que tenían por lo rebuscadas que eran.
• Envejeció mal. La diferencia de edad 16 y 36 me parece un montón. Aunque, por lo menos esperó hasta que ella tuviera 19. Igual me dió asquete.
• Me gustó más orgullo y prejuicio y emma que esta.
• Entiendo que fue la primera novela Jane Austen y medio se nota.
• Me entretuvo bastante, pero ni en pepe la leería de vuelta.
• Cosas que me gustaron: la señora Jeggings, al principio me cayó mal pero luego que se la conoce mejor es un amor verdadero, sin malas intenciones.

A 35-year-old catching feelings for a 16-year-old gets worse the more I think about it, even in context

A funny and sad book about the different ways men can dick over women.

I would like to have a talk with Jane Austen about marrying teenage girls to grown ass men. Colonel Brandon was 35 and Mary Anne was 16 why the fuck was he interested in her get the fuck away I can't believe they got married after Mary Anne expressed how much she didn't want him and wanted to marry for love. I guess its realistic or whatever but it was framed like a happy ending when it so wasn't.

My first Jane Austen! I enjoyed reading about these characters that I'd only known about through media and cultural osmosis. Austen's ability to lovingly draw out her characters' faults and idiosyncrasies was quite fun. There were parts that felt too glossed over - like why some actions were forgiven or age differences allowed - but all in all, a solid introduction to her writing.
