This one was a bit more muted and slow, I preferred Sense & Sensibility and Pride & Prejudice. Main character Anne was too reserved for my liking, I prefer Austen's more vivacious, outspoken female characters.

Did not review this in GR when I first read it. This is a reread.
This is still one of my favorite Austen novels. The action by Anne to turn down Wentworth's proposal 8 years prior has plagued her ever since. She is sorry she listened to her friend and can't seem to move on. She hopes that he still feels for her but is fearful of taking a chance on asking for his forgiveness and a second chance. The finale is the best! ...more

This was the first Austen novel I read.... and did not expect to be a fan....and the beginning did not impress me. But I began to appreciate the finely woven, yet simple, story. Then...somewhat disappointed with the ending...everything gets wrapped up so quickly...and we never get to see Mr. Elliot squirm. Too much of a fairy tale ending.
I loved this book ! I couldn't guess the ending and the different matches at all and that, in addition to Austen's usual beautiful style, was really highly enjoyable. My 2nd favorite Austen at the moment (after Pride and Prejudice, but I still have Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey to read - along as Lady Susan).
