So far, this story is about the Bennets, whose mother wants only for her daughter to marry rich, successful men, and whose father is silent and keeps to himself. Jane is the oldest, pretty, and catches the eye of Mr. Bingley, a very rich man, whose sisters don't really like the Bennets. Elizabeth, a young girl that doesn't really have any interests in men, rejects a clergyman's proposal (Mr. Collins), ignores a successful man who is interested in her(Mr. Darcy), and falls in love with a man who people have suspicions about(Wickham). Wickham convices Lizzy that Darcy is a selfish man who took away his opportunity to become a minister.
Elizabeth seems to attract many men's eyes, particularly Darcy, which upsets Miss Bingley. Miss Bingley is Bingley's sister, who is interested in Darcy, and is jealous of Lizzy because of that.
Jane, who caught Bingley's eye at the first ball they had together, had danced with him twice in one night. She thought for sure that they were perfect together, until she receives a letter from him saying that he was going to marry this other girl. And of course, she's heartbroken.

I'm really not good at remembering names, so the summary seems confusing to me because there are soo many characters. The book seems very sad... i wonder what will happen to Jane??
I love your blog... it's pretty!!!! :D

Your book seems to have something to do with the triangle of love. I can't believe her mom only wants her to marry rich men. I understand that her mom's intentions are good but you should marry who you want to not just because of their money
