A classic for a reason. This book shapped the romance genre a whole and it's easy to see, but it about more than romance. Like the title itself says, but many forget, it's about pride and prejudice, how they affects our daily decision and how that may affect the course of our lifes. Many times I forgot it was written as a comtemporary romance. The naturality and variety of the female characters is foreign to how we tend to think of historical women. Many times I caught myself thinking about how the author made this or that dialogue too modern for the setting before remembering when it was written. I particularly love how the author often criticizes by exposing the character lack of self awareness, including Lizzie, and trust the reader to catch on. I also love how she highlighted that parental neglect were part of lead to Lydia's fate, and also made sure to highlight that she was truly a child. She also makes sure highlight both her mom's and dad's neglect. The Dad's part is often lost in adaptations.
