I haven't been the biggest fan of the Austen I've read so far, but I did enjoy this one more than I was expecting going in! It's a little on the nose, but for the most part it's a fun, smart satire.

This book could be like 50 pages longer with a proper ending, instead of having what is basically an epilogue.
