In this, the 4th instalment of the ‘Change Of’ series, the story examines what changes will arise and effect the lives of the characters we love, and some we love to hate, if Jane wakes up and begins to see the reality of the world.
This tale begins with Jane in London seeking to renew her contact with Mrs Hurst and Miss Bingley. Up until this point, everything has gone according to canon.
At the same time Jane is with the Gardiners, Elizabeth makes her visit to Hunsford. Yes, she receives the terrible proposal, but there is one small difference which the reader discovers when part of Darcy’s letter is revealed.
Not only do we learn why Jane adopted the philosophy she did, but what is it that forces Jane to re-evaluate her view of the world and the way she reacts to it.
Once she has begun to have her epiphanies, and the realisation that she must make some changes, how does that change her perspective on her family, the Bingleys, Darcy, and Wickham, to mention a few? What will she do when she understands who are and are not her true friends? Will her love for Charles Bingley endure?
These, and many other questions are answered while we join Jane as she wakes up after 23 years.

About the author
Shana Granderson
70 books69 followersI have three children and after a disastrous first marriage I found my soul mate who I thought that was lost to me over 25 years ago. I recently married the love of my life. I live with my soul mate in Australasia and have three pets, two cats, Darcy and Bingley and a golden lab, Honey.
Like many high school students, Pride and Prejudice was assigned to me in an English literature class. It was not my favourite book, but I read it as I had to. I forgot about the book until in my 30’s when I saw and fell in love with the 1995 Pride and Prejudice version made for TV in England, and purchased a copy of the DVD that is now much played.
The tipping point was the 2005 big screen adaption of P&P. Not long after seeing it I found and read the complete works of Jane Austen on Amazon, starting with Pride and Prejudice. The latter book is by far my favourite. After I read it three of four times over, I wistfully said to myself: ‘it is a great pity that Miss Austen never wrote a sequel to her seminal novel.' One day I was searching Kindle books and for the fun of it I entered “Pride and Prejudice Sequel’ into the search not expecting any results.
The rest is history. I discovered the JAFF community and books. I became a veracious reader of JAFF books and once I had devoured all of the sequels and continuations that I could find, I read my first variation. I had been resisting variations wrongly thinking that I would not enjoy them as much as the sequels. Boy, was I ever wrong! Today I am the proud owner of well over 1,000 JAFF novels that I have purchased on Amazon. 'A Change of Fortunes' is my first book that I wrote. There are a number of others on the way.

What if Jane was forced to re-think her way of seeing the world when friends and a potential lover betray her heart? How will it change Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice tale? In keeping with the theme of her 'Change of' series, Shana Granderson puts the oldest Bennet sister in the spotlight and how she can change much for her circle of family and friends.
A Change of Jane's Personal Philosophy begins with a Prologue that starts when Jane is a little girl and the dysfunctional nature of her parents' marriage and the household drive her to seek emotional shelter behind a wall of serenity and only seeing good in the world around her. She hides behind this wall into her adulthood.
It is at the point in the original when the Netherfield Park party has left for London and Jane has also gone to London to visit with her Gardiner relations that the Change begins. While there, Jane has received no replies from her two letters to Miss Bingley whom she thought was her friend, a third letter posted from London also seems to have gone astray so she and her aunt make a call on the Bingleys. Her eyes are opened completely to the Bingley sisters, Mr. Bingley, everyone else, and most of all herself. Jane recalls all the verbal abuse rained down on her middle sisters from her mother and she sat and did nothing. She recalls all Lizzy tried to warn her about the Bingleys and she disagreed. Now, she does think Lizzy's jaded outlook and snap judgements cause her to be blind about Mr. Darcy and Mr. Wickham. But, Jane is determined to look at the world around her with more balanced views and to take steps to do what she can to right some wrongs and help her sisters, especially Lizzy.
The changes in Jane have a trickle down effect forcing her parents to see their culpability, Darcy and Lizzy to start communicating without the misunderstandings, Bingley to face up to his lack of control over his household, and changes that will affect her younger sisters especially Lydia who was running wild and had a sad comeuppance.
Indeed, there are villains in this tale and some wreck some real havoc before the Bnnets, Darcys, Fitzwilliams and others stop them.
This sounds dramatic and it had some spikes of drama, but for the most part it is a gently-paced, low-angst sweet romance. Jane gets a new chance with a real man looking for a woman who sees him and not his position and wealth, Lizzy gets a second chance, and even Charlotte finds her happy. It had a softly satisfying finish for everyone who was not an antagonist. I read the Change Of series out of order and want to go back for the other two standalones in the series.
Bonus Story A Change of Fortunes 3 stars
What if simple, ungenteel Mrs. Bennet has an epiphany about herself and her marriage right before the birth of her fifth child? And, what if Mr. B has a similar crisis of conscience about the same time? With parents going through a character reassessment and change, the Bennet family and extending to their friends and beyond get an all together different P&P story.
Fanny Bennet ponders where she is at in life and how she got there- hostage to her nerves and shrill, vulgar behavior, driving her husband to hide in his study, and entertaining the neighbors in a not-so positive way. Hers had been a love match and now they were living separate lives under the same roof. Something has to give. She needs to give her husband a son so she makes her way to the village church to pray.
Thomas Bennet is in his study pondering the turn his life has taken since he fell in love with solicitor's beautiful daughter, Fanny Gardiner. And, he is honest with himself. He has not been a good husband, father, or gentleman landowner. Instead of mocking and deriding Fanny's worthy fear, instead of being lazy about his responsibilities, and instead of placing his creature comfort over everything, he should have made an effort. He can't change the past, but he will change the future even as he has no hope this fifth lie-in will produce a son.
But they both get their wish and their life explodes into a new era of change and all for the better. Renewing their vows, changing at home, investing their finances better, and restoring their friendship with Thomas' powerful Fitzwilliam friend brings a vast Change of Fortunes with far reaching consequences for them and their children.
Over the last few months, I have become enamored with Shana Granderson's gentle, low-key P&P variations and vagaries for my mood craving comfy more than dramatic daring. I never gave much thought to what was her earliest writing as I started with a standalone and then her Take Charge series. However, turns out this- A Change of Fortunes- was her debut book.
And, ahem, it reads like it, too. I'm so glad I started with releases probably mid-way in her writing career right on through her latest. This allowed me to appreciate A Change of Fortunes more than if I'd started with it. I do not say this is a lousy read, but its one with good bones and not-so-good execution. The conflict is literally over before its barely begun. The Bennets' situation becomes an improbable fairytale goodness style of rise. They become the equivalent of multi-billionaires in less time than it takes to blink, Elizabeth is a Mensa-child and genius with aptitudes toward anything and everything plus great beauty and no flaws. Her sisters are not far behind. The family is even lucky in the friendship of a wealthy aristocratic family. There is nothing left for them to struggle and attain and this was in chapter one. There are four principal foes who are all exaggerated villains and comical in their obvious idiotic, ineffectual efforts of gain and greed. The rest of the hundreds of pages was the long denouement of the family extending with the Fitzwilliams, Darcys, and more to all their happily ever afters.
However, for all that this was not an engaging read and had little tension, it had those lovely good bones and hints to where the author's writing would go in future books. I love the broad growth of family and friends adding and becoming connected, changes in behavior and working on character to become better, the fairytale-like happiness that comes with the changes, and seeing the mixing and matching of the characters in romance (though Darcy and Lizzy are always a given for those who need that), and familiar original minor characters the author created (everyone's two favorite massive footmen, apothecary Jones, the Killions as the perfect Darcy House upper staff, and more).
So, do I recommend it? Yes, with the suggestion that newcomers to the author's work start with one of her later standalones or series and come back to this one when working to take in all the author's backlist. It is definitely for those who want all the sugary sweet happily ever after fairytale endings they can get for all Jane Austen's P&P characters, humor, and heartwarming thoughtfulness.

This is the third installment in “A Change of…” series by Shana Granderson. I have been eagerly waiting for its release for months. A couple of things I noticed were that it seems to be from more of a Christian perspective (at least it seems to me to have an increased mention of God and prayer than I remember) than her earlier works, but despite that it has a pretty high body count. The baddies are all killed off vs redeemed. Also included in this book is the first book in the series, “A Change of Fortunes.”
This book addresses canon Jane Bennet’s weak character. That Jane was a person who refused to see or acknowledge any bad in her world. When things were not right she would perceive it as a misunderstanding or just not that bad. That Jane refused to see what she did not wish to be true. The Jane in this book has an epiphany following her desertion by Bingley and changes her personal philosophy as a result. She metaphorically yanks off her rose colored glasses and begins to see the world as it is. Her change in philosophy has a domino effect on those closest to her as well.
Elizabeth has, in her mind, never failed to accurately sketch the character of anyone upon a first acquaintance. In this book she fails spectacularly, although all the while stubbornly believing she can’t possibly be wrong. Jane is the more realistic of the two following her change in philosophy and helps guide Elizabeth to a more logical vs emotional approach to understanding new acquaintances. Jane’s enlightenment also changes the Bennet family dynamics in positive ways, although it unfortunately does not save strong-willed Lydia from a hard life lesson.
All in all this is Shana Granderson as usual. An entertaining story that takes characters in some new and interesting directions.

I loved it!
Warning: Meant for mature audiences. Contains scenes that would scandalize the ton. Readers of a delicate constitution are advised to keep their fans and vinaigrettes close at hand.
It was so enticing that I couldn’t put it down, this book grabbed my interest from the very first page. I couldn’t put it down, I had to know what happened next. The story is well written with a very good storyline. You will see the most beloved characters in a whole new way. This is a Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice variation. This is part of the ‘The Change Of’ series. Each book is a standalone read and can be read in any order. In this, the 4th instalment of the ‘Change Of’ series, the story examines what changes will arise and effect the lives of the characters we love, and some we love to hate, if Jane wakes up and begins to see the reality of the world.
This tale begins with Jane in London seeking to renew her contact with Mrs Hurst and Miss Bingley. Up until this point, everything has gone according to canon. At the same time Jane is with the Gardiners, Elizabeth makes her visit to Hunsford, and yes, she receives the terrible proposal, but there is one small difference which the reader discovers when part of Darcy’s letter is revealed. Not only do we learn why Jane adopted the philosophy she did, but what is it that forces Jane to re-evaluate her view of the world and the way she reacts to it.
Once she has begun to have her epiphanies, and the realisation that she must make some changes, how does that change her perspective on her family, the Bingleys, Darcy, and Wickham, to mention a few? What will she do when she understands who are and are not her true friends? Will her love for Charles Bingley endure? These, and many other questions are answered while we join Jane as she wakes up after 23 years. So with all that and more this story pulls you in and holds you tight. It’s a must read. I highly recommend to everyone.
Note: The first book in this series, ‘A Change of Fortune’ will be included for free for Kindle and KU customers. Historical note, The story refers to an Anglican convent, even though the earliest convent of Anglican sisters was established around 1854. As it is a work of fiction, the author has moved the date forward by +/- 40 years. (***Warning the first book near the end contains a scene of losing a child at birth***)

Entertaining
After the Bingleys and Darcy abandon Netherfield, Jane is in London with the Gardiners, and finally realizes that Caroline Bingley is not her friend, and that everything that Elizabeth has been telling her about Caroline and Mrs Hurst being false friends is true. After much introspection and soul searching, Jane reluctantly faces facts, and decides to cast off her rose colored glasses, and start to view the world through clear eyes. She realizes that, as the older sister, she should have been standing up for her beloved sister Elizabeth when Mrs Bennett criticizes her unjustly, and she resolves to no longer be "just a pretty face." This begins the acquisition of Jane's backbone.
I always greatly enjoy this author's creations, in spite of the fact that they have become rather formulaic. The characters are forthright, and the villains get spectacular comeuppances, which is satisfying. This story is very similar to Ms Granderson's "Take Charge" series, in that Jane asserts herself and causes far reaching changes in many aspects of her life. The book is well written and well edited. I recommend it highly.

2.5⭐️
This book was along the vein of Elizabeth's Self Discovery. Here the focus was Jane undergoing an epiphany. In this case the epiphany came a bit quicker. There was a lot of action in the first half of the book and the 2nd half just became a bit slow and ponderous. We saw descriptions of places people went to and how they got there than actual story. I think the last maybe 4 chapters could've been condensed. There was slight angst and medium dram but nowhere near the levels I have goten used to with this author. It was a pleasant read.

Another Boring Rich People Marry Rich People
The author has so much she wants to include in her novel that there is little story spent in actually developing relationships between characters. It is just meet today, engaged tomorrow and we are all getting filthy rich. Absolutely no relationship or character development. It won’t be very long in before you are bored and lose track of which rich person is from which rich family.

Love reading Pride & Prejudice reimage books. Especially when we get a chance to know the other Bennett sisters and their prospective and what ifs.
This time it’s Jane and the change of her personal philosophy and make some changes for hers and her family life. This is the fourth book from the change series from Shana Granderson. Most of these are book are low- angst reads. I can’t wait to read her next release.

Brilliant book
I could not put it down and libertarians in James character as for me n most books she is insipid with no backbone but in this book it shows her strength of character.

A change of Jane’s Philosophy
This was a long book because it had two books in one . An interesting twist was that Fanny Bennett had twin boys. Thomas Bennett turned his life around. He devoted more time to his family and Fanny became a loving wife.

Disappointed that the book finished at 40%. The rest was an earlier book.
All the antagonists were removed or killed off quickly. The rest of the book dragged. I skim read the second half. Sorry but only worth 2 stars.

Mr. Collins could have written this with fewer unnecessary words. The premise was sound, the execution was not. The first book Jane' s change was passable but the second was unreadable.

Nothing much happens in this book. It's maybe 5% plot, 25% characters commuting from one estate to the next, and 70% listening to them repeat the same things over and over.
