Kyraryker’s quotes
"She thought it over, but couldn’t see any immediate loopholes other than the threat of her inner slut emerging, and she could darned well control that little bitch."— Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Held up on a reread
Rereading this 20yrs after the first time was quite a different experience, I wish I had time to reread a lot of other books.
Catherine's nativity was more pronounced, John and Isabella Thorpe made my blood pressure rise, the Gothic satire portion didn't play as big a part as I remembered, Henry was an intuitive dear but Austen also delivered a fourth wall breaking line that killed the romance for me, and the ending felt rushed.
For quotes, comments, and a deeper discussion of thoughts and feelings: Northanger Abbey buddy read
