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.
