I thought it would be a solid 4-star. However, the characters' reactions to things that happen later in the book, specifically regarding events that center around Fanny, threw me a loop and made me want to die. Poor Fanny is all I can say; it felt like she was being gaslit, and I was so stressed.

I enjoyed it overall a lot more than I have other Jane Austen books I've read, not that they were bad, I just overall enjoyed this more.
