This book was fan-bloody-tastic. I've read one of the other Austen Project books and wasn't super impressed. This one, however, takes the P&P story and astoundingly finds new ways to run with it and flesh out basically every character. Liz and Darcy are OTP obviously, and just like with P&P I spent like 3/4 of the book just dyingggg for them to finally get together. But I want to highlight the roles played by the other Bennet girls: giving Kitty and Lydia separate lives, while still being really close and similar in temperament, is something new I hadn't seen in other P&P variants. Mary is as curmudgeonly as ever, though we do get a peek at her inner life, too. But everything about this just works SO WELL it's hard to describe. The modern reasons for Liz & "Wickham" to fall apart, for Jane and Bingley's distance, for their mother's obsession with marrying her daughters off... it all honours the source material while changing enough to make it believable in 2016.
