Silly and sweet
Nicely silly. I liked the banter. And also touchingly sweet. I liked how so many of the original minor characters were involved.

I loved this variation!!!
All the while I was reading it, I kept imagining it as a much longer book, complete with the first part of the story (which we don't get because it starts with Lydia's wedding) and a much more filled out post of this actual story.
While I appreciate these writers sweet books, I am always left with the feeling that they were written for people only learning English as a second language. Far too simple for my personal taste.
I would have loved for this to be rewritten as an epic, with more of the back story and a lot mire tension and drama before everything gets so prettily resolved.
In any case, this is worth a read, you won't regret it!

This was a short little storyline that I enjoyed.., my main complaint was the hypothetical that was brought up many times. I get that it is in the title but I felt it was used too often within the story.

Wring basically all but one drop of angst out of this plot and this is what you’re left with. Cheeseball galore.
It’s chalk-full of hypotheticals where Darcy and Lizzy end up being the means to bring their friends and family together as matches until finally, lo and behold, the only unmarried individuals are them too.
You can guess with relative ease as to how it all ends up.
Sweet and not nearly as taxing to the heart or brain as I wanted it to be, I liked this enough but it’s not re-read worthy for me.

Nice What if story.
It starts with the premise that Elizabeth never Darcy’s letter and didn’t meet him after Hunsford. It follows four couples and their HEA . Well written.
