This alternative raises the question "what would of happened if Elizabeth Bennet didn't read Mr Darcy's letter"? She doesn't and of course her opinion of Wickhem doesn't change and neither does her opinion of Mr Darcy. How is Mr Darcy to protect her and change her opinion of him!! I really liked this alternative because everything stays the same but the info not given changes Elizabeth, Jane and even Lydia's lives.

Abigail Reynolds writes another Darcylicious novel. Reynolds's decision to have Elizabeth not read Darcy's letter after his disastrous proposal changes many of the events in the story. There are a few more misunderstandings between Darcy and Elizabeth in this version; however, I feel they add to the storyline and the relationship between Darcy and Elizabeth. Reynolds creates a roller coaster of emotions within the reader. Between characters being caught in compromising positions, moving on in or
