    Thoughts from 16% (page 68) geography continued

    It has become clear that the author apparently thought in P&P when they walked to Meryton (2 miles) they were walking to London (24ish miles). I love rewrites and adaptations, and I usually don't care about being loyal to source material, but paying attention to the setting basics really feels like the minimum in a story like this where the premise (Netherfield being let at last to Bingley, introducing himself and Darcy to the story) do rely on the period specific mechanics of gentry having country estates far from the city and homes in London for the season. How can Bingley disappear to London causing Jane to doubt their future when that's apparently a minute or two away?

    I can’t get used to Oliver referring to himself, Bingley, and Darcy as “boys”, it gives me the ick. Why are they aged down? I guess this is aimed at YA?

    Unfortunately this book is just far weaker than the first one. I feel like it doesn’t know what it wants to be other than a conclusion. Not a terrible read by any means, just kind of a slog that suffers from comparison to a really excellent predecessor.

    Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

    A story about one miserable lesbian who despite having a gorgeous ethereal femme with a trust fund who is so in love with her, convinces herself that she has no choice other than to torture herself, the aforementioned gorgeous femme, and her childhood best friend (an aspiring wife guy and actual marshmallow who is also in love with her) by trying to brute force heterosexuality for her mom’s approval.
