Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

emotional lighthearted slow-paced

4.25

I loved this book until whatever happend at the end with Elinor. I wish Jane Austin took her time with her. I'd honestly be fine with reading another 300 pages about a girl trying to figure things out and then it'd probably be a 5 star read.

I really loved this movie and i'm sad i didn't really love this book? I even hated it sometimes and i don't know why but maybe because im doing better than i was when i watched the movie. Anyway i do think it's worth giving it a shot and again i'm really sad i didn't like it as much as i thought i would :P

5.0

Even though summers were mostly made out of sun and heat, summers for me were about the storms that came and went. And left me feeling alone.

Wow. Just wow??? It made me feel so much stuff. Took multiple breaks cuz I didn't want it to end. This book left me feeling something I can't explain. I related to both of the boys and I really liked that I did. I just could sit here and talk about this book for hours but I won't cuz I think everybody should experience it on their own ♥️

I'm so sad cuz of this book. It's so emotional and realistic and I just love women to be honest. I like how the author made all of the characters connected even through little details. 

Now, they aren't perfect. They are all flawed so I wouldn't say I loved any of them but I also did not feel as connected as I thought I would be? But anyway I didn't dislike them.
This book I also pretty short so it's understandable that some people felt like it needed more details. About switching POVs..i really liked that until like 2 last chapters that were so confusing for some reason? Anyway it was a decent read nd I liked it! ^__^

We are more than we think we are. Always more.
