COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Bizarre submitted by shpowers on July 19, 2014, 8:35am Not at all what you would expect from a Pride and Prejudice spin off. This originality might be considered a good thing, if the author had been able to stay true to Austen's characters. Elizabeth and Jane lack the wit, reasoning, and sense they are so famous for, and Mary is altered entirely. The plot strays from Regency social norms which some may find entertaining, but others will be disappointed.
