About the author

Cathleen Earle is that rare thing - someone who is third generation Southern Californian. Raised in Pasadena, she went to the University of La Verne and now lives in Chino, a town known for cows and prisons. (She has nothing to do with either!)

A long-time education writer and editor, she writes science fiction books for kids and teens and Pride and Prejudice variations for adults.

Cathleen loves science fiction and Jane Austen, alternative rock music and jigsaw puzzles, streaming TV shows (think "Resident Alien" and "The Good Place") and really, really old places (think the Roman Forum and Stonehenge).

Bad

This was not a good story. Writing was very juvenile, almost certainly AI, and too modern. Very ooc characters and uninteresting plot. Don’t waste your time with this one.

love, love, love

Great, short, no angst story. I love a besotted Darcy from the first time seeing Elizabeth. No true villains although I wish one had more of a comeuppance for their behavior. The lists were cute with no real obstacles. Highly recommend for a lot of ODC time.
