I'm choosing to ignore that ONE part of Mr. Knightley's character.

Definitely wasn’t in the right place when I picked this up (extremely stressed, busy, anxious) but by the end I did feel as if I was able to have some fun with it. I really felt the length of this because of how extremely character-driven it was but also, having watched (and loved) the recent movie adaptation definitely added to the slow pace. I wouldn’t recommend people start with this Austen book but if you enjoy her other novels you’ll like enjoy this too!
