I enjoyed this one. It felt like Jane Austen, but also it didn't? There's a weird vibe. But the wit and satire are still there! The book breaks the fourth wall and the narrator talks to us at times - and defends novel reading! Catherine even believes she's in her own gothic novel. She gets so into it that she started to annoy me near the end - but that's right when she gets some sense and grows out of it. She has a good heart, but most of the humor in the book comes from watching her get so many things wrong! The side characters are great - I loved Henry and Eleanor, while John and Isabella were fun to hate. I don't love it for the same reasons as I love other Austen novels - but I appreciate it for what it is.
