While still not quite my favorite Jane Austen, I like this one better than I remembered liking it. I found Fanny very relatable to my past self, but in a way I don't think I was able to see until after the fact. While the story is less enjoyable because of the large section where Edmund is being in idiot, it is still a good comfort read (and to be fair to Edmund, while annoying, his idiocy is always reigned in to understandable levels).
