Other than this being so so slow, it was a really good story. The ending I didn’t see coming and I think maybe I should have. Emma is really unlikable and the moral is to be happy with what you have when you have it, I get why this is a classic, it had all the makings of being relatable to any society that has humans wanting to be loved lol
