review 1: I do love my Pride and Prejudice re-imaginings, and no one does it better than Abigail Reynolds in my book. This one has Darcy's bad 1st proposal interrupted by a freakish flood, so they are stuck together in the Collins' cottage for days after she has rejected him. And ... you can only imagine what happens next. My main quibble to this variation is that Mr. Bennet acted way out of character, but I can live with it.
review 2: The Lizzy/Darcy plot was good, but some characters (Mr. Bennet!) were just completely different from the original books and it was uncomfortable to read. The plot became more wild and deviated throughout the story until it turned into what you always expect of spin-offs: the book equivalent of a tele-novella. I really did like the Darcy an
... mored Lizzy interaction, but wouldn't read again. Characters that I once liked - Mr. Bennet, Jane, Col. Fitzwilliam - all made me dislike them with this book and that was a shame! Fine but wouldn't read again. less

I soooo love the Pride and Predjudice variations! This one is fun and has a very surprising ending.

Just OK. Almost the same outcome (except for Jane) with a different way of getting there.

I really like it, it's one of the best variations I 'd read. I highly recommend it.

I love reading Hesse variations. This was definitely one of the better ones.
