Northanger Abbey

by Jane Austen

Catherine Morland should know better. She's the very ideal of a nice, normal girl. But Catherine is cursed with an overactive imagination. She is also obsessed with lurid Gothic novels, where terrible things happen to the heroine. Which gets her into all sorts of trouble...

When Catherine visits Bath and meets funny, sharp Henry Tilney, she's instantly taken with him. But when she is invited to the Tilneys' home, the sinister Northanger Abbey, fantasy starts to get in the way of reality. Will she learn to separate out the two?

Every time Jane broke the 4th wall and talked to the reader was my favorite thing. This book is so sarcastic and funny. The ending could have used a little more (i.e. any) dialogue - it sort of felt like Jane was getting sick of writing about them and just summarized the basic events of the ending in a couple of pages. But overall I thoroughly enjoyed this. Very underrated.
