srivalli 's review for:

3.0
hopeful lighthearted fast-paced

This is like an abridged version of P&P, but with a few tweaks. 

The major difference is how Lizzy and Darcy communicate well and act rational. This eliminates the need for high drama and a third-act breakup. A relief if you ask me. ;) 

Of course, we still have Mr. Collins and Mr. Wickham to try and make things hard for the dear couple. 

Mrs. Bennet is the same, though we get to see her in full action only once. The focus is more on getting Darcy and Lizzy together for as many scenes as possible. 

Now, I’m not sure why we needed the steamy up there with the title. It does have a bit of steam, but not to the point where it should be highlighted. 2 max on the scale of 5. 

To summarize, Tolerable is quite tolerable and enjoyable (better than I hoped, IMO). It’s a super light time-pass read. 

Thank you, NetGalley, Decadent Darcy Press, and Victoria Editing Co-op, for eARC. This review is voluntary and contains my honest opinion about the book.
