The Heiress: The Revelations of Anne de Bourgh by Molly Greeley
4.0
3.5 stars.
after watching price and prejudice (2005); i again became wildly obsessed with everything austen, came across this book being recc’ed on booktok and immediately started reading it.
i wont lie, the beginning was rough. too dry and fantastical and, well, boring. i almost gave up. i skipped whole chunks of text because it was just repetitive.
but it got better. to anyone who’s on the verge of giving up thanks to that atrocious beginning, it does get better. when the governess shows up, that’s when it gets interesting.
my favourite part of the story is how anne grows into her own as someone who takes action and breaks out from her shell. when she finally stepped up, i screamed. the romance was also cute as hell and didn’t feel forced. i thought we were going to get a sad ending but thankfully, it’s a good one.
(also to be perfectly honest, i was living for the casual darcy and elizabeth mentions. i am and always will be pride and prejudice trash)
