What Members Thought
Mary is the last sister currently living at Longbourn when two gentlemen, cousins, move to Meryton. One is charming and makes her heart speed up, and one is handicapped, has more in common with Mary, and is kind. Our dear Mary, of course, makes the right choice.
I am not a fan of the prim Mary Bennet, but Maria made her come alive. Her aunt, Mrs Phillips is pushing her to put herself forward just as her mother has. It was interesting getting into Mary's head and getting into her thoughts and feelings about the two men that she is in company with; The outgoing, popular,new small estate owner, Mr. Lacey or his quiet cousin, an apprentice to her Uncle Mr. Phillips, Mr. Parris. I really enjoyed getting to know Mary better this sweet short story.

3.5* rounded up to 4
A sweet Mary-centric story. I particularly appreciated that the author had not sought to change Mary’s character.
