Publisher Description
An Apple Books Classic edition.
Jane Austen’s first published novel is a sparkling, heartfelt tale of family, friendship, and changes of the heart.
Elinor Dashwood is the voice of reason. Her sister, Marianne, is impulsive and emotionally reactive. When their family loses its fortune, they have to trade a grand estate for a quiet cottage and step into an unpredictable new world of love, gossip, and heartbreak.
One guards her heart, the other dives in feelings-first. As secrets surface and affections are tested, both discover that reason and passion together might be the perfect combination. Sharp, funny, and romantic, Sense and Sensibility captures Austen’s keen eye for love in all its messy forms.

Sense and Sensibility
Had a sort of ehhh ending but I loved how different Elinor and Marianne were!!
Interesting Without Consistency
This book was a pleasant surprise. I laughed, I got angry, and I felt perplexed. I loved the juxtaposition between the sisters. Ultimately, I give it a 3.5 because the end was rather sloppy. The author gave us a summary and the end. It was a very interesting book at time but not consistently.
One of the best classics
I loved this. 🥹❤️ The story was so good. It was funny, romantic, dramatic but also cozy. The characters are really easy to identify with, and the setting is very immersive. There were even plot twists that genuinely surprised me (haven’t seen the movie in a WHILE) 😂 I’m so glad I finally read this. Definitely became a favorite classic!
