Draws in. Good read. Mostly in character and believable. Sometimes the character lost focus or conviction. Great ending.

I really enjoyed this book. The character stays true to original but still continues to learn and grow.
**Spoilers below**
The character we disliked in P&P is still pretty much the same. She does learn her lesson the hard way by having the very thing she did to hurt Jane and Elizabeth happen to her. She was asked to apologize to Elizabeth but thankfully she can’t bring herself to do it. I think if she had it would have changed the character into something she wasn’t. She and Elizabeth came to an agreement to be civil. It fit the characters and the situation well. And in the end when she finally does find love she is not changed into a sweet daydreaming girl but she does come to realize that she is so tough because she simply wants freedom and security wich she gets in the perfect way.

This novel takes Caroline Bingley from the person you would dearly love to smack to a vulnerable woman who begins to see reality. Very good portrait and continuation of Austen's classic.

Its so interesting to read a story from the perpective of a generally unlikeable character... I came to understand why Caroline acted the way she did but still hoped she might become a little more pleasant! Overall a fun story.

In this P&P variation it is now December 1812, and Bingley and Darcy are married to the Bennet sisters. Refusing to apologise for her part in separating Bingley and Jane, and her attitude towards Elizabeth, Caroline is sent with a companion - Rosemary - to her mother and step-father's home in Kendal, Cumbria. This is the story of how Caroline tries to get back into the society she craves.
A very enjoyable well-written story.
