I can't remember the details because it's been a while since I read the book, but I wasn't wild about it. It was fascinating to me that an established author decided to publish fanfiction but iirc none of the characters felt really right? For someone who claimed to be a huge Austen fan, the whole thing felt kind of off.

But I agree Jenna Coleman made a great Lydia, who's even more irritating and awful (but also kind of funny) than in the books or any other previous adaptations.

I think you pinged on the one thing I didn't like about the book!

I liked the story and the writing, but you're right, they could have done a find and replace with names and I wouldn't have noticed, the writing wasn't very on point with Jane Austen's.

Yes, I think I might've enjoyed it more if it hadn't purported to be a sequel to Pride and Prejudice. It just didn't feel like one, it felt like a historical mystery with Austen's character names superimposed on original characters.
