I have to say that I quite enjoyed MP when I read it this June! I liked the simplicity of the story and the ease of the characters because none of them were super interesting. I thought the same as you about Edmund and Fanny's love story... I thought it was just a bit meh! Not like Elizabeth and Mr Darcy's 😄
I like when you said "For example, I don’t like Emma, but I find her interesting as a character because she is flawed. " - this is so true!! Emma is not my favourite character but I do find her interesting to read about because she does make mistakes!
I am yet to read Northanger Abbey and Emma (I have only listened to Emma on audiobook), but I read Persuasion recently and I really enjoyed it. 😄 Thank you for sharing your thoughts on MP!
Ah, yes I know a few people who love Mansfield Park but I think it's not to my taste.
I hope you enjoy NA because it is my favourite Austen novel, the writing is a little less polished compared to her later works, especially Persuasion but I personally feel like it has a different kind of energy that stands out to me. Also, it's less of a romance and more of a coming of age so that can also be a factor. And yes, I love Persuasion too 😌

I look forward to reading Northanger Abbey! 😊
I feel exactly the same!
