Fieldnotes:
London (Inexplicably Hyde Park), Contemporary (p.2009)

1 Literature Grad Student at Greenwich
1 Business Heir
5 Year Age Gap (MADE CREEPY)

2 Psychic Visions (there may have been more, but I can't be bothered to go check)
1 Psychic Sex Dream

1 Childhood Crush
1 Confusing Summer Retreat - where is this? England? US? Have people flown internationally for this?
1 Irritating Nickname

Several "Tutoring" Sessions that Inexplicably Take Place at Starbucks on Oxford Street/Bond Street - the Busiest and Noisest Place rather than in GREENWICH where they go to school
1 Inexplicably Vindictive Former Roommate
Some Light Stalking
1 BIG Misunderstanding
1 Surprise! Wedding to Make a Vision Come True

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. ( )

This was an underdeveloped rough draft at best. The dialogue was stilted, the plot thin, and the characters only a shell of what they could have been. But what really grossed me out was the adult Will Darcy lusting after the child (12 years old) Lizzy. ( )
