This book was a nice light read. It was consistent with the storylines in Sense and Sensibility and I was interested to see what this author thought would happen next in the lives of those characters. I did like the way that Margaret was so determined not to make the mistakes of Marianne that she ended up making her own mistakes. I also liked the insights as to what happened next to Elinor and Marianne. In my opinion, the biggest flaw in this book was that the author tried too hard to emulate the style of Jane Austen. This caused word choices and sentence structure that made me "fall out of" the story while I figured out what was meant. Then I had to get back into the story to continue. On the whole, I did enjoy the book and would recommend it to those who liked Sense and Sensibilty and wonder about what might have happened next.
