Lucas by Elna Holst

4.0

I loved this reimagining of Charlotte Lucas post Pride and Prejudice. I always wondered about Charlotte, since Lizzy Bennet is such a bright, funny character, but her best friend is not very developed in the original. To me, this is a believable and enjoyable twist on Charlotte's story, and it definitely explains away her willingness to be bound to Mr. Collins. Lucas and Alisa are very sweet and have great chemistry, and although some things do seem odd in the context of our modern society, I can appreciate what lengths they had to go through to be together at the time this book was set. Overall, it was a fun read.
