Discuss!
I kind of want to know what you guys think before I discuss because I'm massively biased - I love it and the message behind it and everything.
Erm, I dunno when the chat will be. Best to ask picc, I think...

Yup
I didn't like it. I tried to, because I don't want to just dislike it because it's Austen and I'm prejudiced, but I really found it predictable and tedious. I didn't like the characters enough to really care.
That said, the message remains relevant. As a queer person, I really felt that the idea of living out your own reality at the expense of your family's wishes and expectations was a powerful one.
