As a pride & prejudice enjoyer, I felt obligated to take up this book and as it turns out, it was the best decision I could possibly make.
This book is an in depth character study of Mary and I absolutely loved how real she felt. All her fears, her worries, her thoughts, it was written so beautifully by the author that I can’t help but feel for her. This is not the most plot heavy novel, but I was so attached to all of the characters that I wouldn’t even care if they do nothing but drink tea and talk to each other forever. I found myself rooting for Mary and I wished her nothing but happiness. That’s how real she felt to me!
All in all it was a delightful read, my heart often ached for Mary and I’m so happy for her character development and that happy ending.
