I received a free copy of What Kitty Did Next by Carrie Kablean in exchange for an honest review. This tale tracks the life of Catherine “Kitty” Bennet following her sisters marriages in Pride and Prejudice. Kitty takes the critical words of her father to heart and tries her best to improve herself. However, even though Kitty evolves, it takes time for her family’s perception of her to shift. As a result, Kitty finds herself at the mercy of those views.

This was an entertaining book. I liked it very much. The only negatives were a couple of language things that did not seem to fit the time period and the author’s maneuvering the beloved Darcys into being a source of pain for Kitty. Otherwise, Ms. Kablean did an excellent job of joining Jane Austen’s love of social satire with her love of books and writing. Overall, this is a worthwhile read for Jane Austen fans.

What Kitty did next was suprisingly a good Pride and Prejudice sequel out of so many not good ones. Usually I dislike them wholeheartedly, but this time I actually enjoyed it. The writing was surprisingly good and though by no means perfect it resembled the writing of Georgian literature. I enjoyed reading about so often overlooked Bennet sister and of course about the characters that I already loved. It wasn't perfect I wasn't exactly happy about everything but among myriads of terrible Jane Austen sequels this one was actually enjyable and somewhat plausible as to what could've happened next. So I advice it to any Austen lovers and also it is a good standalone coming of age novel.

This book was a very pleasant surprise for me! I expected to read one of the usual attempts to write a sequel to Pride and Prejudice, but this exceed my expectations. I enjoyed the fact that the author chose to focus on a character whom I feel is often overlooked when it comes to Austen sequels.

That is not to say that the novel was perfect, I felt at times that some of the character development was a bit forced and out of touch with what I had always envisioned those characters to behave like. Some changes though were for the better, and a I can say, without trying to spoil the story, that any Austen fan will enjoy this book!
