This book is AWFUL. The characters are all stupid, nothing follows what was set up in Pride and Prejudice, and the plot makes very little sense. How in the world could Darcy and Elizabeth raise 5 stupid daughters? When did Fitzwilliam become a pervert and hate lively women (like Elizabeth)? How in the world would Lydia end up marrying a super rich and high ranking man AND have NO children? Stupidest P&P story I‘ve read. -3 stars

TheAromaofBooks I read loads of P&P variations but have somehow missed that one - and apparently will continue to do so! 😂 Great review! 5y

iread2much @TheAromaofBooks thank you! I always wondered about this series, it was at the public library I used to work at, so when I saw it, I thought, yay, I will try it. Bad bad bad decision on my part. But I‘m glad I can save you some time and frustration 😄 5y

iread2much @kspenmoll it was. But I have a new low bar, so I guess that‘s good? 5y

TheAromaofBooks lol if you get bored sometime, you can check out some of my P&P reviews - sadly this list does not include all the ones I've read, just the ones I've gotten around to reviewing. Some of them were TERRIBLE! 😂

This delved too much into the darker sides of Regency England for me. One of the things I like about Jane Austen‘s works and characters is that she doesn‘t do that. Too much scandal for me 😕
