I liked this book

Elizabeth has a good first marriage to an older man. He dies and she later meets Darcy. The story was quite good and I liked that Elizabeth and Darcy were not enemies that became friends. They liked one another from the beginning, and this grew into love. I generally do not enjoy P&P derivatives where Elizabeth was previously married, but I enjoyed this one very much.

The first marriage lasted longer than expected

Premise: Darcy is Lizzie's second husband after she's left widowed by her first loving husband.

I was surprised that so much time was given to Lizzie's first marriage. In these situations often we only get a summary or flashbacks to former relationships. This book is written in chronological order with the first couple hours devoted to Lizzie getting to know and love her first husband. It definitely made it more impactful and sad when he inevitably died.
Learning to love again isn't my favorite trope, but I think it was well done here. Reading the book was an interesting experience because I spent the first half waiting for Darcy to show up and spent the second half realizing I think I liked Lizzie's first husband better.

The time line

I noticed that the time line in this series is too confusing, Lizzy was 22 when she met Darcy after she’s a widow , and was only 17 when she met her first husband , now how old was Lidya when she ran out with Wickham ?? That means she was 11 or 12 when they were searching for a husband for her 🤯🤯 , is that right ?? Or am I calculating every thing wrong ?
