The beginning of this book was so slow I almost gave up on it, which has knocked my rating down. It was Pride and Prejudice from a different POV, which is the point of this book, but I didn't think it needed to be 150 pages! Someone reading this will have very likely read P&P, so I felt that 150 pages could easily have been 50 at most.

Mary's character growth was so great. By the end I was happy to see her come into herself and finally stand up for what she wanted. And she got her happy ending!

Happiness depends on ourselves.
