It's always nice to read a new take on a favorite classic. This little novella is a prequel to the Pride and Prejudice story.Things I enjoyed: Mr. Bennett has a backbone! He has more of a say and seems to wear the pants in the family. I loved getting into his head, which may explain why he was the way he was in P&P.; Mr. Darcy makes a very brief appearance! Very brief, but still--it makes me excited for what's to come. Jane, Lizzy, and Melanie are a lot of fun to get to know--chattering, fun girls. I especially enjoyed hearing about their gowns and how they planned on decorating them.Things that are different: the language isn't as 1800s as the original. That's good and bad--it makes for easier reading, yet a true Regency fan might be a tad disappointed. Personally, it didn't bother me that much.Content: CLEAN! No language, no violence, no intimate scenes.
