Listen, I get it—Pride and Prejudice is the most well-known Austen work for a reason, but can we please appreciate its more annoying younger sister? Emma is the book for unhinged girls. Emma is a wealthy woman who has no need nor desire to marry, so she decides to play matchmaker for her friends instead. She is quick-witted, a little mean, and always in other people's business. And I LOVE HER! This has Jane Austen’s signature voice and humor, as well as a begrudging romance. If you like Pride and Prejudice or are just trying to get into classics, give Emma a try.
