This was the last of Jane Austen's major works for me to read, and it was super interesting! You could definitely tell it was her first novel, and it seems somewhat different from the others in a few ways. I liked it but there were sections I found odd/slower so it took me longer than expected to get through it. I wish I were reading it with someone else so I could react to it with them--I didn't know anything about it ahead of time so all of it was surprising to me.
