Henry and Whelan are a match made in audiobook heaven! Much more of this, please!

As the author note highlights, “predictability” is not a fault. This is a beautifully ironic and charming story, told with humor, and performed very well.

Love Poston’s recent work! This is from 2014, and pretty dreadful. The FMC is insufferable and kind of a pick-me, the metaphors and similes are overwritten rather than evocative, the plot is mostly silly, and the narration involves accents we didn’t need. I am amazed by how much Poston has grown since this was written.

I like this author, but the obstacles thrown up here to delay the enemies-to-lovers resolution felt silly and forced. That said, the culmination of the last letter was lovely. Other characters felt very underdeveloped. I just couldn’t believe what a slog this - one of the shortest stories I’ve listened to - was. The narration was rough.

They both need therapy/extensive soul-searching and healing. Her meanness is just not cute. If that’s your kink, though, you might enjoy this.

Was really hoping the Rowleys would eventually try therapy

Mac is brilliantly written and there are many very sweet and moving sibling moments. But I wish this entire family (and their partners!) would at least entertain therapy. There’s nothing unsexy about getting help. What Ryland says about himself at the beginning of his spiral is exactly right and all these women excusing violence in the guise of “protecting” is super toxic. The entire series celebrates controlling and domineering sexual behavior by the MMCs which, in the context of a family that has experienced abuse, did not feel playful but rather unexamined and deeply problematic. (What is the obsession with forbidding women from getting off on their own???)

Very well-imagined, though the redemptive arc is a bit disappointing

Lizzie is too quick to forgive and there’s insufficient true amends made or understanding reached, but the themes are interesting. (The performer’s intake of breath is very audible.)

It’s not just that the plotting is melodramatic or that the Bennets are largely nothing like they are in P&P - the writing is clunky and errs on the side of telling rather than showing. “He is generous,” “she loves books,” “she’s a book lover,” “have we mentioned she reads a lot?” There is zero chemistry between
Darcy and Elizabeth and I have no idea why they like each other. DNF, and that’s very unusual for me.

Very little character development, but lots of listing off characters’ traits, rather than demonstrating them. And Charlotte - for all the praise she gets - doesn’t really do much.

A generous and thoughtful take on the familiar story. Oliver is beautifully drawn and tenderly realized.
