I really enjoyed this book, and the romance was really good, as Lynn painter always does. I felt there was a bit too much going on and not really a centralized plot. I also felt that there wasn’t enough of Charlie, his family and his character development. I really liked how baileys character progressed through the novel.

I enjoyed reading this book, and I liked the challenges presented and seeing Elizabeth’s character development. Everything seemed to wrap up too perfectly by the end, and some of the points I didn’t necessarily agree with. I also felt there were a bit too many subplots but I really enjoyed the connections made.

This was interesting to read, however I had very little understanding of what was going on until I read the summary, so can’t really give this more than a 3. Maybe I’ll revisit the book another time when I feel I have a better understanding.

This book was okay, but I kind of ruined it for myself by getting spoiled

I really enjoyed reading this book. In simplest terms, Sense and Sensibility is similar to many YA romance novels, and I would recommend this book to someone trying to get into classics. This book was filled with predictable plot twists, however almost consistently remained interesting to the reader. The language was generally pretty understandable.
