Emma

Jane Austen

Emma thinks she knows what's best for everyone—especially when it comes to love. Confident in her matchmaking skills, she guides her friends through romantic plans and social games, certain she sees the truth behind every smile. But when her own heart is tested and secrets begin to surface, Emma must face the possibility that she's been wrong all along. Set in a charming village filled with tea, roses, and quiet drama, this is a story of growth, love, and learning that sometimes the hardest match to make is your own.
