Emma by Jane Austen

Many girls believe that they have the "cupid" power to set up true love. In Emma, Emma tries to set up her friend and ends up failing not once but repeatedly. Emma gets so wraped up in setting her friends up that she loses sight of what is infront of her. She eventually doesn't even realize that one of her best friends is in love with her. Has this ever happened to anyone or anyone you know? It seems like Jane Austen was speaking from experience in this book just like in the rest of her books.
