Such Novel Notions: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
On seeing Mr. Darcy frowning at this pronouncement, Elizabeth plucked up her courage and continued firmly, “If said woman desires a second proposal, she must disregard the indignity so abhorrent to his feelings and propose herself. Mr. Darcy, will you accept my hand in marriage?”
Prologue, Such Novel Notions
What has induced Elizabeth Bennet to do something so shocking just three weeks after her vehement and cruel rejection of this same man’s offer of marriage in Hunsford?
While she is still reeling from the indisputable truths disclosed in the letter Mr. Darcy handed to her the morning after the proposal, Miss de Bourgh waylays her and begs her for help. Elizabeth is to deliver a letter to Lord Fitzwilliam, the executor of her father’s will. However, the Earl must receive the letter before her twenty-seventh birthday just five days away, or else her mother, Lady Catherine, would usurp her birthright as the rightful mistress of Rosings. Thus begins the adventure. Along the way, the two young ladies become fast friends, and Miss de Bourgh, freed from the talons of her despotic mother and using her own unique brand of problem-solving acumen, handily dispatches villains, turns the Bennet sisters into heiresses, and changes the lives of many others whose paths intersect hers to the satisfaction of all – well, perhaps not the villains. What is the secret to her success? It is all about the novels she loves. Elizabeth, through her joint efforts with Mr. Darcy to assist Anne, comes to see the gentleman in a new light. With her impetuous nature, it is inevitable that she should do something audacious to attain her happily ever after.
In this engaging and heart-warming Regency tale with the whole cast of our beloved characters in an original plot, the author strives to keep the characters as true to canon as possible excepting Anne de Bourgh, who, though retaining the frail and colorless exterior as in canon, is anything but. The novels she favors are not the Gothic variety so often used in the plots of stories of and about that period – Jane Austen used such a plot device in Northanger Abbey. Let us just say that she chooses her reading materials well. The reader does not need to have read these novels which were, in fact, renowned during that time period for depicting life vividly and accurately. Anne’s explanations of her actions according to her understanding of the novels are quite self-evident.
Just like the original Pride and Prejudice, this story is relatively low angst but has its fair share of drama and twists, not to mention eventful rides in phaetons.

February 21, 2022Did not finish, but I'm done.
I started to read it and then just found it sophomoric and stupid and so I started to teach myself hand sewing as a way to avoid reading this book. It's been over a month that I've been avoiding it and I'm just done.

“There is this common notion that people are shallow and ignorant until they go out and see the world. I, on the other hand, went out and in comparison, realized I was in pretty good standing.” –Criss Jami, Healology
SPOILER ALERT: This review may contain *** SPOILERS ***
>>Rating: suggestive but nothing graphic or vulgar, smarmy behavior from the SBRB, a few sensual scenes, graphic descriptions of injury due to an accident that might be unnerving to some
>>Angst Level: slight as our girl [and Lydia] encountered the SBRB, as horrifying as it was, it turned out to be funny. It tempered the angst with a bit of slap-stick humor. I couldn’t help but laugh.
>>Source: Borrowed KU 6-21-22 with no expectations of a review. The views and opinions expressed are my own. >>Format issue: the font changed throughout the story. Maybe it was the release I received from Kindle. >>Cover Art: The cover art was spot on. It won’t be relevant until later but that was a great picture choice.
>>Timeline: Kent: post DHP [Disastrous Hunsford Proposal]
The reader has a general idea of what will happen in this story. When a person, who has always lived under tyranny, is suddenly set free, what will they do and how will they now act and live? Anne de Bourgh had been under the thumb of her autocratic mother all her life. She knew no other existence. Her cousins, Darcy and Richard, avoided Kent as much as possible and limited their time to once a year. Every Easter, they endured officious advice from their aunt who considered herself an expert in all matters when, in reality, she knew nothing. Every year, Anne silently watched as they ignored her mother while she harangued them throughout their visit about Darcy’s marriage to her daughter. In order to not give Lady Catherine any excuse to cry compromise, they kept their distance and were careful in how they interacted with their cousin.
“Beliefs are stronger than mere ideas, thoughts and notions, be careful about what you believe.” –Amit Kalantri
Anne felt hopeless. Her other relations, who could have helped her, the earl and countess, avoided Rosings except on those occasions when they could no longer put it off. Even basic conversations were limited because no one was able to talk to her because her mother talked over her and for her. The gilded cage was stifling and was becoming oppressive. Then one Easter a fresh breeze blew in from Hertfordshire and Anne de Bourgh was given a glimpse of a different way of life. She took a deep breath of the anticipated freedom and determined right then and there that she would take back her birthright. Only she needed help and that help was in the guise of Miss Elizabeth Bennet who was visiting the parsonage.
What an adorable story. The reader was immediately hit with a prologue that held you in anticipation until the time it would play out. I think it deflected the angst and drama that usually drives me crazy at times because I had a foreshadowing of what was to come. I just needed to wait for it. I thought that was a useful ploy. Anne de Bourgh was a hoot throughout the story. There were so many references to the classic literature of the times. They actually created a marvelous literary twist as Anne maneuvered around the machinations of her mother. What fun.
Wickham: That SBRB [scum-bag-rat-bastard] finally got his due. However, not before he caused all manner of trouble. He received a comeuppance delivered in a way I’ve not seen before. I had to laugh; I couldn’t help myself. Seriously, that was so creative. Oh, my goodness. Poor man. I know. I can’t believe I said that. Considering who it was, he was such a scoundrel. One thing for sure… he made one serious miscalculation… he underestimated Anne de Bourgh.

This is an interesting mix of angst and situational comedy.
Anne and Wickham bring the humor. Elizabeth Darcy, Bingley and Jane bring the emotional angst.
The writing was good and it is an enjoyable read.

Really great!
Well-written and original, this was surprisingly good! I'm always especially drawn in by the variations that aren't primarily about Darcy and Lizzy. Yes, you see the story mostly through their eyes and their relationship builds through the story, but it isn't just about them. It's just as much about Anne de Bourgh..and It's also the best Anne I've read!! Really interesting and overall charming story.

Elizabeth Bennet inspires Anne de Bourgh to stand up to her mother. This becomes the backdrop of drama where Elizabeth discovers Fitzwilliam Darcy isn’t so bad after all.

very low angst
Sometimes, you just want to read a lovely story without tons of drama and angst. This one has a very nice HEA for most of the characters. I quite enjoyed it.

Novel indeed!
As offered in the title, this story is original and refreshing. From the diverging point this book takes the reader through a great adventure with unexpected consequences.

So many surprises
This story breaks from canon in so many ways, it would be futile to try and list them. The important point is that Elizabeth and Darcy find their HEA at the end of a rocky road.
There is more focus on Anne De Bourgh. Her only hope to escape her life beneath her mother's heel is to exercise a condition in her father's will, and that window is about to close. Anne has befriended Elizabeth during her visit with Charlotte, and Anne pleads for Elizabeth's help before it's too late.
Together Anne and Elizabeth go to Anne's uncle in London and plead her case. Darcy is visiting the earl, and together they set things in motion for Anne to actively become the mistress of Rosings Park.
The rest of the story is not to be missed. The events that follow are such that I have not seen their like in any variation I have read thus far.

Great
A splendidly told take of human emotions, highs and lows. A story of its time and the way of life depicted for that era.

Silly premise, but entertaining
The story begins at Hunsford, after the disastrous proposal, and after Elizabeth has received the letter from Mr Darcy. As the book summary indicates, Anne Debourgh has just a week until a deadline for her to permanently take control of Rosings from her despotic mother. Anne is inspired by Elizabeth's ability to stand up to Lady Catherine's poor manners and snobbery. She begs Elizabeth to help her accomplish the takeover, and then to help her manage Rosings. Elizabeth, in turmoil from Darcy's unexpected proposal, agrees to help Anne get a letter to her uncle, Lord Fitzwilliam, but Elizabeth soon realizes that Anne is relying on her for much, much more. The events that immediately follow throw Elizabeth and Darcy frequently into company together, revealing to Elizabeth a side of Darcy that she's never seen.
The title of the book refers to Anne Debourgh's tendency to use situations that she's read about in novels, and then applying them to real life, an interesting idea, but a strange one for a woman who's twenty seven years old. Although she's a somewhat sheltered character, it would be less surprising if this was done by a much younger person. Even more surprising is the complete acceptance by Lord Fitzwilliam and Darcy of the idea that Elizabeth would be a suitable person to single handedly teach and guide Anne in estate management. This is "girl power" at its finest, but nevertheless is pretty far fetched.
However, the book is pretty well written, and well edited. There are some nice twists on some of the major players, and the bad guys get satisfying comeuppances. I recommend the book as a pleasant way to lose yourself in the P&P world.

The author's story description covers this tale very well. It is a sweet story with many finding their HEA, but not all endings are as in canon.
As the author tells us, Anne de Bourgh finds inspiration from the novels she reads and from finally meeting someone who not only doesn't allow Lady Catherine to push her views on her nor to insult her. Thus Anne not only befriends Elizabeth but also persuades her to become her mentor and guide. And in return Anne bestows her own dowry upon the five Bennet sister. She doesn't plan to ever marry so has no access to it anyway.
Anne and Elizabeth must travel to London to beat the deadline for Anne claiming her position as Mistress of Rosings. Anne's family is impressed with Elizabeth. We also find Darcy becoming involved at the request of his uncle...although having been rejected at Hunsford, Darcy would just as soon avoid being in Elizabeth's presence. He still loves her and finds it difficult to remain stoic what with her labeling him "the last man in the world"!
Lady Catherine suffers an apoplexy while Collins trips and is knocked unconscious. These 2 events do have affects on their families.
Wickham has an accident also but I won't relate what the outcome of that is. It also causes a major ripple in the storyline.
This story had no angst for me and was short on romance, although many are married as we read the epilogue.

This book really centered around Anne De Bourgh more than any other character. So if you are looking to read variations only featuring Darcy & Elizabeth then this book is probably not for you. If fact their romance wasn’t that present at all.
That said I did enjoy it, though post Hunsford variations aren’t my favorite. I don’t really have a valid reason as to why, I just seem to like the variations that take a turn while still in Hertfordshire.
Side note, this author deserves an extra star for not only being so kind as to aptly tie up secondary characters storylines, but I very much enjoyed the way she did so & wished more authors followed her example. She didn’t necessarily wait till the epilogue to tie up all storylines. Instead, whenever a specific story came to its natural conclusion, she noted their future right then & there. It was fucking marvelous. As someone who constantly gets upset with authors for not properly concluding storylines or resolving character arcs, this easy & effective method was everything I could dream of.

This novel seemed to have a lot of potential. A lot of the events that happened made an interesting story to read. Unfortunate how the characters and the people involved were described did not live up to the expectations. It seems there is one word that encompasses how all the characters acted and behaved: pathetic. I don't use that word often, but the way some characters thought and acted, they all seemed rather pathetic. Even the great Elizabeth became some pathetic madame lost in the world. The plot and Anne were something that did make the story nice. Otherwise I was mostly frustrated while reading this.

I had apparently started this book before and read to about 39% before throwing in the towel but I decided to give it another chance. I am not sure why.
If I had to describe the story in one word it would be MANIC.
There is so much going on it is utterly bizarre... just bizarre. And to add insult to injury it has one of those absurdly long and detailed epilogues that no one needs to know about...
The premise is following Mr. Darcy's proposal Lizzy almost immediately thinks I should have said yes
But she is quickly roped into a plan of Miss deBourgh's that is so bizarre It feels like it was lifted from an I Love Lucy episode.
Ann has only a few days to assert her control over Rosings and she wanted to ask Darcy for help but she left so now she needs to ask Lizzy to take a letter to her uncle the Earl. And madcap mayhem ensues ... oh and Mr. Collins breaks his neck so so angst. at least for Charlotte.
Every woman in this book is just silly; except maybe Lydia and Lady Fitzwilliam and Mrs. Gardiner.
There are just so many plots and subplots involving but not limited too, Anne's inheritance, Wickham, Bingley, Miss Bingley, Lady Catherine and her many physicians, Lizzy and Jane, Mr Bennet.
There are probably three books worth of plot here and they are all insanely mashed together. People just careen from one disastrous situation to another. Anne says she doesn't want a birthday dinner while her mother is ill but she gets one and Darcy invites all of Aunt Catherine's doctors to round out the numbers.
Lizzy is a total split personality Mary Sue she says she wants to return money to Anne but the minute she has an excuse not to she's all cool with it.
Charlotte is appraising future husband's over her current husband's death bed.
It's just so dreadful I had to reread Confessions of the Scandalous Mrs. Darcy: A Pride and Prejudice Variation as a mental palate cleanser

I enjoyed this although I found the premise to be a little far fetched. If there is a deadline for Anne De Bourgh to become mistress of Rosings or forfeit it forever it seems like somebody should have asked her what she wants to do. Was that sort of an arrangement even a legal provision? And the way she goes about giving her money away to strangers does not seem entirely plausible either. But I was entertained by the story, enough to buy the author's other books.

delightful!
I loved this take on the story. After reading hundreds of Jane Austen fanfiction, I have to say this one is very unique, and I enjoyed it thoroughly! Overall I felt it was well written. The characters were great. There were a few times I thought a part could be better , but likely just me opinion and the read was overall so good. I truly loves it. I am going to look for more by this author!

A "Novel" Idea for a variation
I really liked the journey this author took our beloved characters on. the villains got their just desserts in different ways than I have seen before.. I really enjoyed this variation of the classic book I have loved so long. It will definitely become on of my "comfort reads"

This P&P variation focuses on a relationship between Anne de Bough and Elizabeth, and It was very enjoyable. While Lizzy and Darcy were still a focus, I really appreciated the growth we saw in Anne, and how she was so hilariously blunt.
