Emma When you're beautiful, clever, and rich with a comfortable home, why wouldn't you meddle in everyone else's love life? Emma Woodhouse is absolutely convinced she's a genius at matchmaking—despite having zero romantic experience herself—and she's determined to find the perfect match for her sweet but timid new friend Harriet. What follows is a delightful cascade of hilarious missteps, romantic misunderstandings, and witty banter that will make you laugh out loud and cringe with secondhand embarrassment. Austen's most spirited heroine will charm you completely, even as she fumbles her way toward the realization that matters of the heart are far more complicated than she ever imagined.

Witty, elegant, and delightfully awkward. Think indie folk meets classical strings—acoustic guitar, subtle orchestration, and wry vocals. Soft indie pop with romantic undertones. A soundtrack for scheming with a smile, missteps that sting, and slow-burn realizations. Graceful yet humorous.
