Think of Me
by Elizabeth Adams
I liked this ... I've read a ton of P&P re-imaginings. Here, Darcy has the ability to read minds (at least thoughts about him) and emotions. It's told in 1st person (past tense) from both Darcy's POV, and Elizabeth's. Sometimes I struggle with getting that personal with Darcy and Elizabeth ... I'm more used to a 3rd person overview. I actually had a harder time with Lizzy's POV than Darcy's.
This was set in the traditional timeframe ... a few new characters, a Lady Cassandra (friend of Lizzie and Jane), a different love interest for Jane (so this time when Darcy tells Bingley that Jane may not be that into him, it is the truth). It felt odd NOT to have the Jane/Bingley dynamic! There was a little backstory about Darcy's previous lover, a widow ... not really at the top of my list for a re-telling.
It was a little too convenience ... SPOILER Darcy can read minds, and oh look, suddenly Elizabeth can too! They can have complete conversations, even from miles away! A little inconsistent as at one time, Darcy couldn't seem to tell what Lizzy was thinking (I thought that would be an interesting twist) but then no, he can, he just gets a little distracted.
Just basic chapters (no headers/POV listed in TOC). It's listed as a series here on Storygraph, and it is part of a "collection" but it's totally a stand-alone story, so I'm marking it thusly. Needs must. Also indicated both male/female narrator ... not actual "audio" but the characters POV. If it was turned into audio, they'd better have two separate narrators.
So, I liked it. 3.5 stars. It took me a while to get through, even at just 168 pages, as it wasn't available with audio, so I had to READ it, on my Kindle (on KindleUnlimited, but my subscription expired, but as it was still open, I still had access, but only on that device).
No language, not explicit, but some thoughts/dreams were a little more spicy than regular JA.
