Love and Friendship and Other Writings by Jane Austen
4.0
Home girl Jane, wrote these around the age of 15. Which is awesome.
This collection of short stories is *chef’s kiss* and despite her vernacular, feel accurate to the writings of such a young girl. The “History of England” section felt like juicy gossip from a teenager, which made it hilarious - every italicized word and parentheses statement cracked me up.
All of the short stories were extremely well written and so good. It makes sense why her later works are so well loved. Would recommend giving it a try if you like Austen’s work.
