This has been on my TBR for a long time. I didn’t enjoy it as much as P&P, there were more characters and it was sometimes hard to understand their relationship. Still very well written for its time, but not my favorite Austen.

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.
