the end of a three book series

Last book in a trilogy but enough loose ends to maybe support more volumes. Lizzie and Darcy are to be married and many other relationships come to logical finishes. I enjoyed the simplicity of the plot and found myself wishing perhaps the story had been one or two years longer.

It’s better to read the first two volumes but not absolutely necessary.
