What Ought to Have Been: A Sense and Sensibility Variation by MJ Stratton. ★★★★☆
The action focuses on events after Willoughby's abandonment of Marianne Dashwood.
Eleanor Dashwood's tender regard for Edward Ferrars is dashed, by the revelation of a longstanding secret betrothal to Lucy Steele.
Unfortunately, Lucy's continued presence in their company only adds to the pain.
Marianne seeks to find justice for the Dashwood sisters.
This Marianne is more avenging angel, than passionate romantic and boy is she devious!
The story is told from both Marianne and Eleanor's point of view. While this is well written, instead of intercutting points of view, in one chapter, the events are repeated to get both versions.
I have to say that I found the repetition a little tedious, but overall an enjoyable read.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
