What if Lizzie had said yes to Mr. Darcy‘s 1st proposal? That‘s the premise of this P&P retelling. I didn‘t love Darcy‘s proprietary attitude at the beginning of the book, but I felt both characters had wonderful growth throughout the novel. I don‘t always love Austen retellings, but this one kept with the tone of the original, expanding the interactions between our favorite pair. I loved seeing the way they learned compromise & patience together.
