...they were still pretty good.  I'm a fan of Jane Austen and Jane Austen retellings so keep that in mind.  However, aside from feeding my Jane Austen craving, I thought the characters were well developed, the story had enough happening that my interest was peaked throughout all 4 volumes, and the overall writing style was smooth and easy to read.  Georgia, the Elizabeth-like character, was occasionally a bit over-zealous with her veganisms but that was kind of the point.  She was like a sledgehammer trying to do a feather's job. Michael, the Darcy-like character was much more redeemable then I initially expected him to be and even attractive in a "I'm not perfect but I'm loveable anyway" kind of way.  Both characters were like that actually.  The story doesn't exactly retell P&P but uses it as a general template and borrows names.  I thought it was well done.  They should have  been 1 book instead of 4 in my opinion but I guess it's a nice nod to the volume style of publishing of Jane Austen' s time.  I definitely recommend all 4 volumes to readers with a love for Jane Austen retellings and I will likely read them again in the future.
