In this Pride and Prejudice variation Darcy and Bingley have left Netherfield. But several weeks later while in London they both are drawn back to the inhabitants of Longbourn.
With Miss Darcy they go back, hoping to win the hearts of the two eldest Bennets, with help from the Christmas mistletoe. But there is the interference of Collins and Wickham.
A delightful tale

This was a cute idea for a framing story that got lost in its execution. It was overly sappy, had characters' opinions/feelings changing far too quickly, and the characters discussed highly personal and sensitive subjects in a way that didn't seem realistic to me. Characters were inconsistent both with the source material and with what the variation would have changed. I skimmed a lot as the story went on, which is pretty sad considering how short it is.

I wanted to like it, but it was uneven at best, and that impression is consistent with other books I've read by this author. This is officially going to be the last one.

2.5 stars rounded up for no other reason than I couldn't make up my mind on rounding up or down, and I flipped a coin.

I have to say that in this novella Lydia is such an enabler. Every time she spots Lizzy and Darcy under the mistletoe she cries out for them to kiss. Actually she does this to everybody but more so to the aforementioned couple. Lizzy and Darcy manage to work through their misunderstandings and eventually Lizzy falls in love with him. So yay for mistletoe and interfering sisters!

This novella was very sweet and is definitely a must read for the holiday season.
