As a huge Jane Austen enthusiast, I absolutely loved this Emma adaptation! The language and tone were spot on for the time period, making it feel authentic. I especially enjoyed seeing more of George and Emma, and all the other characters were spot on. The plot twists and “whodunnit” mystery kept me hooked from start to finish. If you're an Austen fan or just love a good mystery, this is a must-read.
Thank you NetGalley and Kensington Publishing for granting me access to this book in exchange for an honest review!
