It was a relief to know it was written by a college student as I felt it was way beneath the quality I prefer.  I feel this author has a great future and hope she does not depend on just rearranging the original story, but can add some interesting insights and depth to the characters.  There was little actual plot or character development as both depended on the original story.  I am always happy when Lydia is rescued and does not have to face marriage with Wickham and not very happy with too much intimacy before Lizzy and Darcy marry! I guess I am a little old-fashioned;  I don't mind more erotic scenes after the marriage!Please get very careful proofreaders for future work, as there were many instances of need in this one.  Just a thought:  why not write a sequel.  I would like very much to know how Lydia and Col. Cunningham work out.  Will she resume her friendship with the silly Mrs. Forester, or will her husband provide the guidance to help her grow up?  Does it turn out that this is the way Col. Forester found his young and silly wife?  What do you have in store for Kitty and Mary?
