Ok Mr. Darcy's change of heart for Elizabeth's sake is really sweet. It was nice seeing him court her, and Elizabeth being such a derp realizing she's in love with him was well done and super cute. Lydia ugh, she's such an idiot! Wickum is just a loser too, but that all couldn't be helped. I really like how the theming of this story is so well crafted into the narrative, and how characters flip with their viewpoints.

I feel so bad for Elizabeth and her whirlwind of emotions after Darcy's confession! But at the same time, serves her right for putting upon him such a harsh light based on her pride. I hope her and Jane get to be with the men they love. Jane and Elizabeth's relationship is so sweet, it's one of the highlights of the book. I want Mr. Bingley to pop up again soon! Lydia is a hot mess, as is Kitty. Plot is really good!

I see why this book has the title it does, as the entire thing is about people either being too prideful and not showing their true selves, or making assumptions about how people really are. I find it really clever to have as a theme of a book, and it fits the characters in the book really well. I like Elizabeth and Darcy's banter even more now seeing Darcy isn't what Elizabeth is making him out to be!

This book starts out really fun. I like the Bennet family as a main POV family. Mr. Benett cracks me up with his dry whit, and Elizabeth and Jane are both great characters. The banter between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy is fun, and Jane's budding relationship with Mr. Bingley is super sweet already. Liking the drama being set up for Lydia and kitty as well! All in all, a great read so far. A really easy book to get into.
