"sense & sensibility check ☑️ kind of like watching the bachelor or listening to your high school bud updating you on a semester's worth of tinder debacles over a winter break coffee date - the drama is entertaining but you're a little too detached from the situation to care deeply. elinor is an all-star league gossip, absolutely elite, all respect to her and marianne is a scorpio."

"mansfield park! bold of jane to write a novel with no likable characters. kinda works though, lots of twisted relationships in this one that I think make it arguably more interesting than my austen faves. nothing about this a nice love story & I don’t think plot manipulation would change that, but if I were in charge the characters would be paired off differently at the end."

"back from my austen hiatus with emma. my favorite chapter is when emma basically explains all the petty reasons she doesn't like jane fairfax and then is like whoa ok she's actually really pretty now and makes a Big Decision to Like her. but then they talk one time and jane is not spilling any hot goss which is unforgivable so emma in fact continues to dislike her. very good rainy day reading."

"northanger abbey! very funny, jane! the catch 22 of austen novels. fast paced and quippy and frustrating and then suddenly heartfelt in a weird way?? catherine is the dumb girl representation I crave in literature ❤️a genuine delight"
