Compulsively Mr. Darcy by Nina Benneton

1.0

Worst retelling of a Jane Austen novel EVER! Stay as far away from this book as you possibly can. I find it very hard to believe the author even calls herself a Jane Austen fan. It didn't bother me that they made Lizzy American, or that Darcy was OCD about germs. Even the misunderstanding about Darcy and Bingley in the beginning was interesting. But I'm sorry, the liberties she took with Lady Catherine and Anne were borderline ridiculous. Georgiana was family to her too. Yes, Lady Catherine is rude (among other things), but as a Jane Austen fan I honestly believe she would have never have done anything like that to Georgiana. Not only because she's family, but because she didn't want to face the wrath of Darcy. Hopefully this author doesn't have any plans to screw up any other Jane Austen novels. Retellings can be done well, this just isn't one of them.
