This book is a decently high quality fanfic sequel to Pride and Prejudice. The author pretty much goes out of her way to redeem most of Austen's characters and assure happy endings for all. It's a fun quick read. The first half details the days leading up to Jane and Lizzie's wedding to Bingley and Darcy and the first year or so of their lives together. There is certainly no graphic sex, but it is amusingly sex obsessed. The second half, which takes place in the next year or so, is more focused on the marriage prospects of Caroline Bingley. I didn't enjoy this part as much. It has a mystery/ thriller element that didn't seem to work in this context, and there is an absurd scene of Elizabeth riding by herself from Scotland to London, which is ludicrous. All in all, however, the book isn't a keeper, but is a fun and lighthearted P&P sequel.
