I just finished reading Sense and Sensibility and I loved it sooo much it was soooo good, its my third Austen book ( I've already read Pride & Prejudice and Persuasion) and so far Marianne and Elinore are my favourite protagonists!!! ( Also I have a sweet spot for the sisters trope).

[spoilers ahead]

I LITERALLY SCREAMED when Edward told Elinore he wasn't married to Lucy, I totally didn't expect that twist at all!! I also found this book so different from the others I've read before, mostly cause I found it less slow paced maybe? Idk if this makes sense. Also I loved the character development of both of the sisters it was so well written (the entire cast was tbh). And can we talk about the parallels between Edward and Willoughby???????? And the sweet kindness of Colonel Brandon????? AND how Elinore and Marianne were absolutely girlbosses through the entire book??? Austen slayed again

Ou, you got to read Sense & Sensibility unspoiled! Exciting. It's wonderful that you enjoyed it so much. I do find the writing style a bit different than Austen's later works, this was the first one she published.

The parallels between Edward & Willoughby are great. Edward stays true to his word even though it may cost his inheritance and Willoughby refuses to do the right thing to get his inheritance back! Willoughby gives up love for wealth and Edward does the opposite, twice! (well he gives up wealth for honour and then for love, but still). And yeah, Colonel Brandon is a total sweetheart. I hope he is very happy with Marianne for a long time.

Feel free to send me more excited reviews of Austen, I love reading them. Share the joy!

i love unhinged women but i also love women who try so fucking hard to be hinged. clinging to those hinges by her fingernails.

Jane Austen heroines exist on a sliding scale of "You are always right, and no one ever listens to you" (Fanny Price) to "You are never right, and everyone always listens to you" (Emma Woodhouse.)
