In this book we learn what happened to the barely acknowledged, Mary Bennet of Pride and Prejudice. I started this book with great expectations of possibilities considering the time frame and what a woman's role could be. And for much of the book, I was not disappointed.
Unfortunately, the final chapters fell into some redundant and sadly predictable activities involving multiple missed opportunities to put the book back on track,etc. I found it very frustrating and felt the author had missed a wonderful opportunity to bring the book to a unique conclusion. I felt the author just gave up in the end and used the predictable ending.

I’ve only watch the movie Pride and Prejudice (2005), but Mary has always been my favorite Bennet sister! This book is for the introverted, the analyzers of social cues, and anyone of the path of learning to love themselves. Mary’s journey is very relatable! Listening to the audiobook gave me so much joy during my cross-stitch sessions. An absolute delight!
