short

A rather short but very emotional variation inspired by author Jane Austen’s classic novel Pride and Prejudice by Meg Osborne. I enjoy her stories but i wish she’d just make one complete book instead of three short ones for each story.

This was my least favourite of the series. Some of the magic was lost to me but I hope it was there for others.

Avid Reader

I enjoyed the last of this series. I have not read many books by this author, but I liked the way that she brought Mary and Sidney together. Wickham hurt so many people and so many couples. Mr. Eggerton 's oldest sister was still dealing with Wickham 's duplicitous behavior. Georgina gave him the best advice. Go where he is unknown and start over. Darcy and Elizabeth also reclaimed their lost relationship because they never stopped loving each other. I gave the book a four because there was no epilogue. The end was too abrupt.

Favorite of this series

Without any spoilers (I am dead set against them), I found this to be a lovely conclusion to a very readable P&P variation series.

The entire series could be written as one concise book by just skipping repetition. Many of the characters were not alike Austen's original characters.

[Sarah Ingerson · Rating 3 out of 5]

This series is a middling read for me. I really enjoyed the first two sections of the trilogy. I was riveted by Darcy and Elizabeth's secret shared past and all the heartbreak that came along with it. However, as this past was revealed, I found Darcy's actions increasingly obtuse. How could he continue to assume the worst of Elizabeth once it became clear Wickham was the true culprit? How had he never realized the truth years before? Darcy's obstinacy felt forced given the character's supposed intelligence. The misunderstanding would have been much more heartbreaking had it been rooted in genuine miscommunication/error rather than Wickham's misdeeds. I expected more from the reveal.

Also, it is worth noting that the books are all rife with typos and grammatical errors.

The variation continues, with everyone now relocated to town, can there be happy endings for any of them. What about Wickham, will he achieve his aim.
An enjoyable variation, a re-read.
