How to Fall in Love with a Man You Thought You Hated by Elizabeth Adams
Publication Date: April 5, 2021
Paperback; 266 pages
was Genre: Historical Romance/Austenesque
For Elizabeth Bennet, Charlotte is the friend who is—annoyingly—always right. Colonel Fitzwilliam is the mischievous brother she never had. And if their convictions that Mr. Darcy is in love with her are correct, he could be the lover she’s always wanted.
There’s only one problem—he tried to ruin her favorite sister’s life, and she made an absolute fool of herself in front of him.
Can lasting happiness come out of such a beginning? And can a man die from chasing a woman too quick to be caught? Darcy is about to find out.

My Review
5 stars / It was amazing
It's finally happened. An author wrote a variation of Pride and Prejudice that is a perfectly wonderful and satisfying telling of how good it is between Elizabeth and Darcy when they actually court each other! I enjoy Austen variations and retellings, and this one is my new favorite. It's told from both Elizabeth and Darcy's point of view, and they are thoughtful and introspective as they analyze their misperceptions about each other and themselves. There is a good dose of subtle humor and wit, balanced with plenty of dialogue and interactions that keep the pace of the book steady and my interest never waning. I love that Elizabeth gives Darcy a chance, but she also doesn't shy away from the difficult and complicated dynamics of their relationship as well as their families. I appreciated that the author didn't retell certain overused scenes in Austen variations (Lady Catherine's set down of Elizabeth) making the story more unique and creative while still being true to the fundamentals of the characters. Elizabeth and Darcy both grow and develop as individuals as they also grow closer together, through the rocky patches and the earnest wooing. Their chemistry and attraction only grows as they come to know the deeper layers of their lives and personalities, and they strive to become worthy of each other and their increasing regard and love. A must-read for fans of Regency and Austen!
