I loved this book so much! I devoured it! I thought it was so silly and absurd which made it hilarious. It didn't try to do too much, it was appropriately densed and generally well-paced. I found the side stories funny and engaging, despite wanting to get back to Elizabeth and Darcy! And normally I can't stand the miscommunication trope but it was maneuvered so purposefully I couldn't hate it if I tried! 
Darcy's willingness to learn from Elizabeth and take accountability to make things right I found so endearing! I love the message in that! And their chemistry was great. 
I saw a lot of myself in Elizabeth and a lot of my sister in Jane actually, which made it even more fun to read.
It was also interesting to see how old these popular tropes are! The absurdity of rom coms has and always will be there! Overall I just think the whole book was so well executed and did what it ser out to do so well!

Mr. Darcy was romantic but I think this book was a bit hyped up. Some of it really hadn’t aged well and left a bad taste in my mouth, and other parts feel very wish-fulfillment. That being said I loved the prose and the way the author weaves plot points and character insight. It was still gripping. I just wished there was more
