For Marnie Barnes, realizing she’s a Mary Bennet is devastating. But she’s determined to reinvent herself, so she enlists the help of her bubbly roommate and opens up to the world. And between new friends, a very cute boy, and a rescue pup named Sir Pat, Marnie finds herself on a path to becoming a new person entirely. But she’s no Lizzy, or even Mary—instead, she’s someone even better: just plain Marnie.

I loved this new look at Mary Bennet through the lens of Marne Barnes whose painfully embarrassing coming of age moments mixed with some hard truths about miscarriage, harassment, and sisterhood fit together like a perfect puzzle all the way to the ending final piece. The romance was a slow burn and definitely second to Marne's slow growth into her potential, but I think it made perfect sense that way.
While some reviewers took umbrage at some of the harder themes in the novel, I wondered reading those reviews what rock they've been living under. What woman hasn't experienced harassment, hardship, and maybe not the specifics but similar types of hurts hurled at Marne, her sisters, and her friend? If you read this and don't realize how needed and fully appropriate it is to talk about the harder subject matter in this book, I think you must have lived a very sheltered life, or are blind to reality.
