I didn’t expect this to be a tearjerker. There are so many lovely aspects of the plot of this book and that makes it all the more worthwhile of a read. I truthfully only picked this one up because I saw it said Mary Bennet & was like “isn’t that the sister everyone forgets about?” I love how we just get thrown into the story and the protagonist really sets up the viewpoint of everyone nicely. As she changes so does how you view everyone, which I thought was nice. Beyond that, the story between the sisters, friendships, and love interests were all truly enthralling. It’s not often I am pausing the book to react to something that happened but I did it quite often during this read. I also just found out it’s a series so I will be looking into the other book(s).

This book is less YA romance and way more a study in a young woman coming to find herself. I loved every second of it. Made me laugh out loud, the author has a lovely way with words. A surprisingly emotional book, honestly. This was excellent, one of my favorites of the year so far.
