It seems wrong to give such a low rating to a book that is considered such a classic, but I found it completely underwhelming. I would love to have someone who loves this book change my mind, but I was unimpressed. True, the prose is lovely. I also acknowledge the humor found in the social commentary. All that being said, why is this girl in such a “muddle” over a guy she really knows nothing about? The plot was extremely weak, all the major story beats were so brief that if you blinked you missed it, and none of the characters were likable. At least it was short.
