book review: Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
.
.
genre: classic literature, literary fiction, romance
page count: 432 pages
.
.
notes:
After the death of their father, two sisters are forced out of the only home they’ve ever known and into a cottage on the property of their cousin, - two sisters, more different than alike, navigate love and heartbreak as they also balance their own relationship despite their blatent differences.
.
.
thoughts:
My fourth Jane Austen novel in my quest to read all of Austen’s work in 2025, I was warned before reading this might be some of Austen’s weaker work, but I couldn’t disagree more. It had all the components that make Austen’s book iconic, and I think this is a new favorite of mine. I loved seeing the contrasting sisters, both so strong and lovable - I enjoyed seeing how they both handled love and heartbreak in their own way. One of my favorite parts of Austen’s work is her character building, they always feel so real and relatable, despite being written generations ago. In tune with the lovely leading ladies, I love the humorous and realistic way in which Austen writes her men, both the gentlemen and the scoundrels - again despite being written generations ago I love how realistic they seem, even in a modern dating world. This book really did have it all, from those realistic characters to a really captivating plot that I couldn’t get enough of with plenty of drama to keep me reading, and lastly the classic Austen social commentary, starting with these sisters losing all they ever knew simply because their father passed sway and becuase they were women they have no rights to anything. Truly a favorite Austen of mine.

#whatsthisweek 📖🎀

The one thing they don’t tell you about borrowing books from the library is that it feels a lot like fostering a puppy, falling in love with it, and then being forced to send it back. Or at least that’s how I feel about the books I’m finishing this week.

You’ve seen my post a lot about “The White Album” by Joan Didion and it might seem a bit contradictory that being the fast reader I am and having encountered a book that I love so much I am not eager to finish it. Instead, the idea that I will have to part with this specific copy is making me stupidly emotional.

I don’t know if it happens to you but sometimes a book is the greatest form of companionship. Some books you enjoy so much that moving on becomes a dreadful idea. I guess that’s what’s happening to me with Didion. Not only do I not want my first read to be over, I also don’t want to not have it around me after a month of carrying it around everywhere.

It’s my emotional support book.

To add insult to injury I also had to start reading “My Brilliant Friend” and I was half hoping I wouldn’t like it because I have too much on my plate this week to have to finish in time to avoid getting banned at the library.

But I regret to confirm that I love it.

In fact I read the first 150 pages in one go.

That’s how much I love it.

Luckily my third and last book (I call it my public transport book) is a poetry collection by Emily Dickinson which I actually bought with my own money. So nobody is taking her away from me.

At least I have that confort.

To wrap up here’s my reading list for the week. Wish me luck avoiding getting banned at the library (yet again, lol).

•”My life has stood a loaded gun” by Emily Dickinson —Poetry collection.

•”My Brilliant Friend” by Elena Ferrante —First book in the series “Neapolitan Novels”.

•”The White Album” by Joan Didion — Essay collection.

I’m tagging some friends so that they share what they’re reading this week 💖

“People can’t, unhappily, invent their mooring posts, their lovers, and their friends, anymore than they can invent their parents.” – James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room

James Baldwin said that Giovanni’s Room is not so much about sexuality, but rather about what happens when fear consumes you so, that you can no longer love anyone. To label this novel as solely ‘LGBTQ’ is to reduce it to a single category when, in reality, it delves into so much more.

At its heart, the novel asks: What are the consequences of hiding parts of ourselves - from others and ourselves? Can we truly love and be loved? Can we live a full existence while suppressing who we are?

David, our narrator, exists in a purgatory-like state, haunted by internalized homophobia, societal expectations, and the belief that he cannot truly be himself. His fear isolates him, alienates those who care for him, and sets in motion a tragic chain of events.

Baldwin’s writing, lyrical and haunting, reads like a confessional memoir - poetic, claustrophobic, and deeply personal. Though written in 1956, its themes remain painfully relevant today, reflecting the struggles of those still forced to conceal parts of themselves in order to be accepted.

A novel about love, shame, and the suffocating weight of fear - Giovanni’s Room is a timeless masterpiece.

It was a pleasure discussing the book in the most iconic location and with two groups of beautiful people ♥️ as always, I’m already looking forward to the next one. Thank you all!
