I absolutely loved this book! Normally with Jane Austen it's hard not to compare everything to Pride and Prejudice; and though I still love P&P more of course, this is the first of her other novels that I felt could really hold up! It's lovely, and I highlighted so many lines, and I got through the last two thirds of the book in just two days. There were points at which I really didn't know how it would end or what would happen, which seems rare in romance. I really loved this book.
