Ahoy there me mateys!  This be a contemporary retelling of a classic  title. I picked this book in 2019.  It be a pride & prejudice retelling.  I don't normally read them but this one focused on the trial of George Wickham's associate.  The combo of P&P and law is what drew me in.  It was okay.  This is likely due to the fact that I have never loved a P&P retelling. However, this concept was different and I wanted to see how it would play out.

I found I didn't really love the trial aspects and thought they got in the way of the story.  I rather enjoyed the different take on the Bennett family and the bakery that they run.  I would have liked to see more of this version of Mary.  Though I always want Mary to have a better story, not get subsumed by her family, and have a better ending.  I did like seeing more of Lydia and would have loved seeing more of Charlotte.  I think the characters were the best part of the book.

It was a quick read that entertained so I have no regrets.  Arrr!

Side Note: Ye can no longer get this on Amazon. The author was kind enough to give an explanation "Thank you for reading A Case of First Impression! I appreciate your feedback. I decided to pull it from Amazon. The early reviews were positive, but it stopped selling after receiving a certain number of low stars (without reviews to help future readers know if they would feel similarly or differently). I found it challenging to find the right audience for this story, which combines elements of many genres (classic retelling, legal drama, romantic elements without enough romance for some readers, etc.). I still love the story, so I’m planning to make it available on another platform in the future, but I might re-write parts of it to make it acceptable to a wider audience. There are a lot of copies out there, so people who already have it on their Kindles might give it a try. Thanks again for reading and reviewing it."
