If Jane Austen lived in the 21st Century, who knows how Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet would overcome their false impressions, mistaken pride and unfounded prejudices. Here is a possible answer. -- Take a humorous journey with post-graduate student Elizabeth Bennet as she travels to London to study for her PhD. Will her strange dreams of princesses and knights hold her back or will being just "A Little Bit Psychic" aid her in discovering that William Darcy is the love of her life?

The Short Version
I think this must have been self-published fan-fiction. The characters and plot beats bear no real resemblance to the source material other than in names. The psychic visions are dull and seem like a writing exercise rather than a fun plot point.
The geography of Liz's existence is incredibly confusing - if you are studying in Greenwich, why would you go to Hyde Park instead of Greenwich Park to study? Who studies outside for 5 hours in London? Why did we need to discuss the exact Underground lines and changes all the time?
But this could have all been a simple forgettable interlude had the book not reminded us in far too much detail that 17 year old Will had to be warned off of TWELVE year old Liz because she "blossomed" early and her dad caught him "enjoying himself" grunting her name. Just...ick. And then when our protagonists are going to have sex for the first time, they CALL BACK TO THIS and it DOESN'T squick anybody out or anything, they carry on. THIS IS NOT SEXY TALK!
Let me NOPE right on out of this. ( )
