Felt a bit long at times (mainly the first part), but still a fun and sweet classic

My second Jane Austen novel and honestly it makes me want to board myself up for a few weeks and just read all the remaining ones right after another.
This plus Pride and Prejudice (the other Austen novel I've read) are both, THE EPITOME of a classic. You can't fault her in my opinion. They are wonderful and easy to read and deal with feminist themes and womanly issues with such clarity.
You follow Emma our beloved protagonist as she finds her footing and learns many important lessons about family, love, friendship, and personal growth. These lessons Austen lays out for us can still speak to and relate to the modern reader today.
You're rooting for our protagonist from the get-go and we feel genuine emotion when she messes up and makes her mistakes.
Although Austen felt that Emma would be her least-liked character I think her true honesty, innocence, and redeemable character make her one of the best.
It was a joy to read.
