The Bennet Women

Admittedly I'm not an expert on Austen but I'm confused by a few of the reviews which state that this was not an authentic Austen retelling. Many of my favourite P&P plot points are covered in this novel:
* Darcy/Wills's cutting comment after the first dance
* Elizabeth/EJ's muddy walk to comfort a sick Jane
* Darcy/Will's letter writing
* the whole Wickham saga etc...
Even when there's a deviation from the original, there's a nod to what was and it feels very intentional. For example, Will doesn't jump straight into telling EJ his feelings in this novel. However, he writes a letter to that effect but is advised against any declarations of love by his sister and Zara for very good reasons. So even though in this respect, it doesn't follow the original text, the author very clearly acknowledges the original P&P plot point.

The Bennet Women is undoubtedly a P&P retelling, it just isn't my favourite. I didn't really connect with the characters. I just couldn't sink into the storyline the way I tend to with a really good romance.
