I'm a big fan of Pride and Prejudice so this book had me curious on a different take. I absolutely hated how Darcy & Lizzy were portrayed in this. That being said, if you can reframe your mind to think of this as a completely different set of people for this story then it was fine and I liked the book overall.

Mary B by Katherine J. Chen is a different take on the Pride and Prejudice story. This ends up not being the book for me for two primary reasons. First is Mary herself. She is not a likable character, and she makes some pretty unsavory decisions, further leaving nothing to sympathize with. Second, the other characterizations in the book bear no resemblance to the characters from the original, except the names. So, the book loses me.
