Just couldn’t get into it and didn’t really see a happy ending for Mary.

It’s like I’m reading Austen, this might as well be canon
A wonderful revisit to the story of Pride and Prejudice told from a very different perspective. All the known characters come to life and of course new ones too!
Mary Bennet finally gets her chance to shine. Portrayed as a weed in a bed of flowers Mary will discover that beauty is truly in the eyes of the beholder and although everyone including her own mother never fails to try and put Mary in her place, she still manages to rise above the obstacles. Surly Mary is destined to carve her own love story full of all the usual uncertainties but more importantly she learns to love herself, just the way she is.
A lovely story of self worth that will even make the reader take a step back to observe their own dignity and how they perceive themselves. If you love Pride and Prejudice than I highly recommend!

This was an intriguing look into the most unloved Bennet sister from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.
Mary is often portrayed as the plain, spinsterish music snob without much in depth look into her thoughts and feelings - which we thankfully get in spades in this reimagined Austen world.
Whilst I enjoyed this book and seeing things from Mary’s perspective, I felt that a few characters came across a little unfeeling - I have no doubt that Mr Darcy would have put more of an effort in making her comfortable in his home and the Elizabeth wouldn’t have dropped her like a stone as soon as Georgiana came into the picture. But that’s because those two are my original OTP and I think highly of them. More than I should, some might say.
