The bookish Bennet sister from the beloved classic Pride and Prejudice enters the world of society balls and scandals in this modern sequel. "Five out of five Regency stars!" —Laurel Ann Nattress, editor of Jane Austen Made Me Do It and Austenprose.com Growing up with four extraordinary sisters—beautiful and confident Jane and Elizabeth, and flirtatious and lighthearted Lydia and Kitty—wasn't easy for an awkward bookworm like Mary Bennet. But with nearly all of her sisters married and gone from the household, the unrefined Mary has transformed into an attractive and eligible young woman in her own right. When another scandal involving Lydia and Wickham threatens the Bennet house, Mary and Kitty are packed off to visit Jane and her husband, Charles Bingley, where they meet the dashing Henry Walsh. Eager and naïve, Mary is confused by Henry's attentions, even as she finds herself drawing closer to him. Could this really be love—or the notions of a foolish girl unschooled in the art of romance and flirtation? "In her first adult novel, YA author Mingle . . .plucks the character from obscurity and brings her to life in this delightful spin-off. . . . Mingle makes no attempt to replicate Austen's voice. Rather, she lets Mary speak for herself in this romantic charmer that will leave the reader sighing with pleasure and remembering what it feels like to fall in love." —Booklist (starred review) "This novel is hard to put down. As an emotionally deep story of one woman's re-invention of herself, it is a character piece that transcends genre... . . . Highly recommended." —Historical Novel Review Society
