3.75

For only being 150 pages, this took me a long time to get through. I'm an audiobook gal, and this didn't have audio. I read it with my eyes ... and while I liked this, my eyes kept closing (I guess as I'd generally wait until end of day). 

I struggled with the start - it didn't really pull me in. I'm not so much frustrated with the writing as with the time, the whole "scandal/ruined" ... that there could be a turmoil (someone shouting "fire" in a crowded theater) and having Darcy/Elizabeth end up crumpled together and ... oh the gossip!

Once that was over and the story started up, I liked it a LOT more. The events, the repartee between E&D, the slow build, all seemed true to the original ... up until the party/engagement, which like the beginning, seemed overblown and over the top. 

This is the only one of the "accidental" series I've read.  I don't care for things being listed as a series when they are really stand-alone books (gathered into a collection).
