William Collins is at Longbourn because Mr. Bennet is ill. Because of Collins' father he believes that he is not good enough for anyone. That he is too large and therefore awkward, and that he is unlovable. But he has thoughts of Catherine Bennet, even though Mrs Bennet pushes him towards Mary. But what of Catherine.
A lovely, well-written, variation with quite an adorable Collins. A delight to read. ( )

This book was a really fun sequel to Mr. Darcy's Comfort: A Pride and Prejudice Novella and I really liked this Mr. Collins. I enjoyed seeing this side of him and how his character developed in this book as well as seeing him interact with Bingley and Darcy and the friendship that developed between the three of them. It was fun to watch them help Mr. Collins try to get Kitty's attention. The relationship between Kitty and Mr. Collins was also fun to watch unfold. There is also an epilogue at the end that takes place on Kitty's nineteenth birthday that is really sweet. ( )
