Queen B’s Decree: I am nearly 100% of the time suckered in by Pride and Prejudice retellings or adaptations or even if they mention “inspired by.” That’s why I was excited to read Accomplished, as it calls itself a “Georgie Darcy Novel.” Great! I’d love a modern adaptation of P&P told from the viewpoint of Georgiana Darcy.
Dear readers, this was not that.
I feel like just the characters named were adapted from the original novel, as the characters themselves did not resemble their namesakes. Georgie was a very unlikable character, and I actually hated Darcy (my own true love, how could it be??).
And so I didn’t finish Accomplished. Once Georgie made the most ridiculous decision ever, I just couldn’t do it. Sorry, y’all.
