DNF after the first 2 chapters.

I'm all about reimagining Mary Bennet so I was excited for this but it was disappointing. Tried reading further but I couldn't, just can't deal with the MC.

I ADORED this. It was seriously so much fun to read. The humor in this was just so spot on, with such a fantastic story about finding out who you really are. And if that’s not enough, there was a sweet love story too.

Almost gave this book 1.5 out of five but there are reasons. I felt bored reading how the main character was trying to fix into the mold of another character in a book where the mc is her own person and should be trying to categorize herself. I was utterly relieved when she stated that she will stop obsessing with that fact and make herself her own main character. Everyone is the main character in their life.

I didn’t expect this to be a tearjerker. There are so many lovely aspects of the plot of this book and that makes it all the more worthwhile of a read. I truthfully only picked this one up because I saw it said Mary Bennet & was like “isn’t that the sister everyone forgets about?” I love how we just get thrown into the story and the protagonist really sets up the viewpoint of everyone nicely. As she changes so does how you view everyone, which I thought was nice. Beyond that, the story between the sisters, friendships, and love interests were all truly enthralling. It’s not often I am pausing the book to react to something that happened but I did it quite often during this read. I also just found out it’s a series so I will be looking into the other book(s).
