Enjoyed the book but a heavy suspension of disbelief compared to the original portrayals of the characters.

 I read this book 3 years ago and gave it 5 stars. I read it in night and stayed up till 5am to finish it. I loved it so much! 
But I just reread it and it took me a month and I found it kind of boring. I’m currently not in an obsessive pride and prejudice mood so maybe that’s why I didn’t like it. I’m not sure. Still a great book for when ur in the pride and prejudice mood

I am very familiar with Pride and Prejudice, in fact it’s one of my favorite books, so I was really excited to read this paper because I had wondered what would’ve happed if Lizzy had accepted Darcy’s first proposal. 
The book itself was very sweet and well written, I enjoyed Darcy and Elizabeth’s banter and their relationship was very cute, but there where some times where the book seemed slowed down unnecessarily and there where several parts where I was felt like I was “pushing through” to get to a smoother part. Overall I enjoyed the book and I considered giving it 5 stars, but there were several times I wanted to put it down because it felt like we were moving backwards with the story. Good book and definitely recommend it though!

 Err...

Darcy rubbing a lock of hair Lizzy gifted him against his face was just a little too much for me.

Also:
"You madam, are little more than a girl, but you conduct yourself as a self-assured woman."
If a man ever says this to you, RUN.

Darcy does get better by the end of the book and there are even a few sentiments shared between them that I quite liked. The first fifty percent of this book however was, at times, tough to get through.
