  “It really was a sweet Cinderella like story. At times I had a hard time with it because Evelina herself was a little naive but overall very very sweet. Some of her family members were obnoxious *twitch twitch*. But over all I truly did enjoy it. ”

  “Adore this book, Burney's vivid characters, witty satire and brilliant dialogue make it better than most modern-day romantic chick lit! I would advise to people who normally shy away from older novels, it is as readable today as it was in the eighteenth century.”

  “I don't much care for epistolary novels, but this one was a fun read. Over the top sentimentality, of course - exactly the kind of stuff Jane Austen made fun of in her juvenilia. It was fun to read the two in conjunction. ”

  “Completely delightful novel of a young woman's coming of age in 18th-century England. You'll root for Evelina (even when she seems to be her most clueless). Charming.”
