Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
5.0
December 3, 2020
Pride and Prejudice is the kind of book that feels like a hug from someone you love; familiar, comforting, warm. December is Jane Austen's birth month, so I'm reading all of her books, and this one by far is my favorite reread.

Truthfully, this is far from my first time reading “Pride and Prejudice.” I very nearly finished it when assigned to read it in high school (much to Jane Austen’s credit, as I never finished a book assigned to me in those days) and read it fully twice more in early adulthood. Now, as I embark on a quest to familiarize myself with the classics by powering through a “100 Books To Read Before You Die” list, I have been given yet another opportunity to fall in love with Mr. Darcy.
There is not much to say about this book which hasn’t already been said. Two people who hate each other slowly falling in love is a tale as old as time. I just love it. The scene where Elizabeth rejects Mr. Darcy is just amazing. I can’t even.
Jane Austen does it again! There is a reason this is a classic. Read it, then read it again. You won’t be sorry.
