Northanger Abbey is so underrated like no offense but the heroine of that book is into sports and shenanigans growing up and doesn’t learn anything in school or have any accomplishments or interests until she has a growth spurt, gets hot, and reads so many gothic novels that she almost ruins her relationship w her love interest bc she convinces herself his house is haunted and does an inappropriate ghost hunt.
I love how the narrator of that book is trying to make this into a gothic novel but is constantly being thwarted by Catherine just being too sensible for the plot. My favourite is the scene where Catherine sees her love interest speaking to another woman.
Narrator: *perks up* What heartbreaking moment is this? How spurned and dejected Catherine must feel that her affections are so cruelly rejected and-
Catherine: This must be the sister he mentioned! I’ll go and say hi.
Narrator: … *Goes to get another martini*
