My absolute least favourite Austen. I sure do take every story from her with a grain of salt as it was a very different time, I do love her characteristic humour and how she clearly agrees with the reader that so much of what's happening in the books is ridiculous for various reasons. But... the incestuous grooming lovestory is simply too much for me. I cringed so hard at every interaction between Fanny and Edmund and thought I would crawl out of my skin at the proposal. The only reason I revisited this book is that I like to listen to Billie Piper's voice so her narration made it bearable.
