Elizabeth Bennet quote that pretty much sums up this book-
“I feel that—I know—I am questioning myself endlessly.”
I would rate this between a 3 and a 3.5. It is well written, but I started to tire of Elizabeth’s indecision & confusion which seemed to last way too long (endlessly in her own words) for such a confident & intelligent young woman.
There wasn’t much else going on to hold my interest. Overall, I did enjoy it, but Elizabeth was a bit too stubborn & hesitant and Darcy was a bit too much ...more

❤️ this Darcy ~ a man with a plan who is not just consistent, but witty and thoughtful.
Oh my goodness, what a charming novella! Darcy's adoration of Elizabeth is particularly endearing in this sweet story. He's trying so hard to be the stoic gentleman, while also following her around like a lovesick schoolboy. Elizabeth was incredibly stubborn, but I could certainly understand her reluctance. I adored how our dear couple gradually learned to understand each other. A lovely, quick read for Pride and Prejudice fans.

Wonderful
An absolutely wonderful little variation inspired by Jane Austen’s classic novel Pride and Prejudice by the talented Lucy Marin. Most enjoyable story.

A well constructed novella.
An enjoyable short read with a very determined Mr Darcy and a helpful pair of Gardiners to smooth then way.
