Mr. Darcy Forever by Victoria Connelly:
Published by Sourcebooks
Publication Date: April 1, 2012

Like ‘Dreaming of Mr.Darcy’, ‘Mr.Darcy Forever’ charms you all the way to the end of the story. Victoria Connelly, in this story, has loosely based her main characters, sisters Sarah and Mia on the sisters in Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility. This book provided me a glimpse of the magic of Bath, of Jane Austen festivals (oh, if only I could, I would be there too attending a Jane Austen festival, but I can’t right now at least, so I read!)

Review: Like sisters (or siblings) everywhere, Sarah and Mia are completely different from each other, with Sarah’s OCD and Mia’s completely not-OCD personality, they have their sibling squabbles – but they do have things in common as well – their love for each other and for Jane Austen! But when things go sour after both sisters fall in love with one seemingly perfect man, they go their separate ways until Jane Austen brings them back together, literally. Both Sarah and Mia decide to attend the Jane Austen Festival three years later and what they discover there about themselves, and about each other, makes this book a sweet, charming, funny read for all.

The author tells the story going back and forth between today and flashbacks to reveal what drew the sisters apart – she manages to do this without letting the reader be at a loss. Descriptions of Bath and the Jane Austen festival tempt me to visit and be a part of the festival.
My favorite character in this story has got be Bingley – a bungling, lovable dog who is described as ‘a cross with something fat and greedy. But lovely’.

Rating: B+ (Having given the earlier book in the series an A, I am giving this book a B+ mainly because I loved that one way more than this.)
