I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone who likes a more plot driven novel. The writing was beautiful and I loved the discussions about my beloved Jane Austen characters. It made me long for people to share these discussions with. I almost want to start my own Jane Austen book club. However, the plot was just too slow and not exciting enough. The ending felt rushed and forced and almost cringey. I still did like it though

I very much enjoyed this book. Grief was a theme of the book, but I found it to be very hopeful. The characters are loveable and it makes me want to read some Jane Austen.

Enjoyable read, it was a lovely style of writing, very comforting to read somehow. The eight main characters could only truly see themselves using Jane Austen’s work and it played very well. The only disappointment I had was that Adam Berwick was suddenly an heir (but did not use it) and was alone when he and Mimi had had such a connection. I also felt uncomfortable with Adeline and Dr Gray’s romantic relationship, with such an age gap and imbalance, particularly as he had watched her grow up.

I think historical fiction just isn't for me. Also this swapped between characters WAY too much for me and I didn't really care about them. I skim read the last chapter and it ended how I thought it would.
