3.5

Not a strong independent heroine like we get in Austen's other books, Fanny is quiet and shy but has a strength of feeling and an innate sense of self that makes her a relatable character. Everyone treats her so poorly, it's no surprise that she doesn't like to socialise!

Fanny spends the entire book just wanting to be loved and wanted, and thankfully by the end she is 💜 

Also I did find it a little hard to follow who was related to whom and how, I had to google a family tree! (This possibly isn't a problem if not listening to the book though.)
