Poor Darcy

I am generally not fond of variations figuring an unpleasant Darcy. The Darcy character in this book is unique and not in any good way. At first, I could not find an apt description- rude, boorish, churlish, arrogant, conceited? And then, it came to me. This is the first stupid and incompetent Darcy character I've ever met!

Really fun!

Colonel Fitzwilliam returns from the continent to realize that Mr and Miss Darcy, as well as the Bingleys, need to learn how to treat others with dignity in this reimagining of our favorite classic. Anne DeBourgh takes charge of her life and there is a shuffle in the marriage choices made by all characters except for D & E. I’d love to see this author write sequels showing the various weddings, newlywed lives, and the younger sisters’ seasons.
I didn’t want it to end!

Really awful

The author infantilizes so many characters and over explains everything. There are bizarre twists and turns though possibly interesting they make no sense…. Like most virtual voice the narration is grating and awful.
