The Other Bennet Sister by Janice Hadlow
3.0
Finally a book inspired by Pride and Prejudice that didn't make me cringe! :)
This book was well written and author didn't seem to hate any of the characters....and she gave Mary her own story that mostly fit with Austen's original novel. Mary finds herself desperate for a home- away from her mother and not a nuisance. She tests out her options and finally ends up at the Gardiners- where she is treated as an adult....and she meets her own suitors. She goes for some outings, mixes up with some villains and falls (maybe) for a man (finally?). It was nice to see a different perspective of this very undeveloped character.
Read if you love Austen.
