I remember reading this in Sophomore year English class and everyone in the class haaaaaated this book. So I pretended to hate it too but I secretly actually really liked this book. It's a tough read, sometimes the story dragged along, but there were some legitimately funny parts- even to 15 year old me. And the love triangle- so much drama- but it was so worth it. I hadn't expected to like this book so much but its one of the few 1800s society novels that I have actually enjoyed.
