It was a good retelling of P&P, and I liked that it wasn’t a 1:1 copy to the modern day. I wasn’t sure how she’d do things like Mr Collins’ storyline with inheriting longborne, but it all worked.
However overall, it was too fast paced. It felt like half the story was missing and she just jumped days/weeks towards the end of the book instead of fleshing out the story. That was disappointing, and a crappy note to end on.
