Thank you to NetGalley and Little, Brown Book Group UK for this ARC.
This is some heartwarming Jane Austen fan fiction that takes place four years after the events of Pride & Prejudice. Charlotte Lucas who was married to parson Mr Collins finds herself a young widow in need of consolation by friends, but as Lizzie Bennet is busy, she sends her younger sister Mary.
What follows is a historically inaccurate but very sweet wishful thinking sapphic regency romance with a lot of yearning and longing and misunderstandings plus a third-act breakup, before a happy ending that is fit for the times can ensue.
You don't need to be queer or a Jane Austen fan to enjoy this slow-burn romance, though it might help. Recommended, especially if you like to learn about the meaning of flowers.
