This was a delightful modern retelling of Emma by Jane Austen, with the titular character Emma Woodhouse as a wealthy Manhattanite pursuing a master’s degree in art history and an internship at the Met. She’s navigating adulthood and changing relationships with poise and the occasional mistake - but she’s never too proud to admit when she’s wrong. I enjoyed it soooooo much and it was such a fun read!
Graphic: Sexual assault and Alcohol
