4.0

do not read unless you want to spend very many pages debating whether you are a marianne or an elinor... still undecided, unfortunately. anyway, seriously enjoyed austen's first (??!!!!!!) published work (that fact alone is astonishing). very relatable older sister content, colonel brandon is *almost* as good as when being played by alan rickman, edward, however, did not live up to his 1995 movie adaptation characterisation. reading this book really evidenced the fact of what an outrageously good adaptation the 1995 sense and sensibility is-

anyway - this book was an utter joy to read, loved every second. only thing I didn't love was it was slightly repetitive at times, which I think was a necessary part of it, and the conclusion was a bit too quick and resolved a little too easily? didn't really take anything away from the overall narrative, however. can't wait for my next austen
