Jane Austen trifft auf Agatha Christie. Absolut packende Geschichte. Für alle die Stolz und Vorurteil lieben ein Must-Read. Die Wendungen am Ende waren überraschend und die Charaktere von Jane Austen hatten trotz der ganz anderen Geschichte den eigenen Charakter beibehalten.

Mixed feelings - overall the book is good, it’s written well and interesting enough to keep one taped to the pages. The plot, however, was a bit too predictable, reoccurring patterns and stereotypical scenes lowered my reading experience. As for the heroine, although being a bit of a brat, I’m glad for her character development and the way things seem to turn out…ish

4.5/5 I'm obsessed with Pride and Prejudice and I thoroughly enjoyed this retelling. So excited for the sequel!

Ich fand die Geschichte sehr charmant, witzig, clever und einen tollen Zeitvertreib! Was mir ein wenig gefehlt hat, war das Knistern zwischen Darcy und Lizzy, dass für mich nicht ganz aufkam, da sie relativ wenig Zeit miteinander verbracht haben und am Ende doch alles sehr schnell ging... innerhalb weniger Tage. Auch das sie jünger gemacht wurden, hat mich erst überrascht, aber am Ende kaum gestört! Auch den neuen Einsatz bekannter Charaktere war interessant und sehr unterhaltsam. Ich bin super gespannt auf die nächsten Bücher der Reihe.

So much better than the original!
