I adore Pride & Prejudice. I've read it many times over so I had high expectations of this sequel but I just couldn't finish the book. I barely recognized my favorite characters, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth. They had changed so much. Although she tries, the author can't capture Austen's witty repartee and sharp observations about human weaknesses. The result is stilted dialogue and an unbelievable storyline. This sequel is more like a modern trashy romance thanks to its graphic and gratuitous sex rather than a worthy genteel successor to Pride & Prejudice. If you want a very R-rated take on Darcy and Elizabeth's life then this book is for you.
