For whatever reason, though, I wasn't quite as compelled by this novel as I was by <I>The Other Bennet Sister</I>, which is the last one of these takes I read. This one is a bit lighter on plot, maybe, and it feels a bit too long. Part 4, in my opinion, was completely unnecessary and can be omitted from your reading.

Minor "rape" tag refers to one instance in Part 3 where a character describes engaging in sex with their partner in a period-typical way that would be considered non-consensual now.shelbybelby's review against another edition

The book does get a bit lost in the sauce in the second half, so it's more of a 3.5, but still very fun.

This got me so excited about the Pride & Prejudice universe, in a way that I haven't been for a long time. I loved Anne's story, how her health and how she was treated were explored, how her feelings were brought to the surface. I thought it was very clever, and it came across as very real. When I was reading it, it was like of course that's why! It just made sense.
Excellent exploration of quite difficult themes. And I really liked that this wasn't a hopeful book. It was dark, and it stayed dark even as Anne glimpsed happiness. It felt almost heavy on my soul to read, almost crushing. It's an emotional experience, reading this book, and I wouldn't change a moment.
