Because I appreciated how Emma went from a character I really could not empathize with or feel with into a character I was rooting for towards the end, yeah.

justice for Pride and Prejudice’s weirdest sister (The Other Bennet Sister | Janice Hadlow)
But Persuasion is my favorite Austen work. by a long shot. I love it so much.
I went on to read the book as an adult for which I am thankful because I would not have appreciated the book as a wee teen, but as an adult, I thought it was rather delightful.
I say like Persuasion and Sense and Sensibility are like two of the most earnest of them as far as like getting really close to like the characters feelings and the characters not being too silly or like having like all the lessons to learn.
I would not say like an excellent book. It's not going up on like the tippy top of the list, but it's a good read. It's a nice time.
