Like every book in the series, this novel can be read without reading any other books in the saga, but all the books are linked to each other. It's a fact, unspoken but no less true, that a girl like me never could be given a happy ending. Cary Lucas was one of a group of three friends, and she was always considered as the one of no importance. What is worse is that while her friends all seem to find their purpose, their paths, and they experience true love, Cary is left wondering where her journey will take her, but then one day, she gets struck by a decision to make a choice. Posing as a man, she joins a male ice hockey team, and begins to find significance and a place where she belongs. While there, she remeets a man named John Clarvil, the Native American man who she once fell in love with when he lived next door. Little by little, they become friends, but while John thinks he has gained a close bond with his fellow teammate, Cary grows to fall in love with him all over again. Yet to add, meeting him drives Cary to learn about the history of a native American woman who was John's ancestor when America was not even colonized. Satkiesmin's journey to save her people inspires Cary to continue her path of fighting to find her identity, but how long can she keep up the facade? If she were to get discovered, would everything come crashing down, and would she lose everything that she has gained with John? Here comes the modern tale of Charlotte Lucas, one of the few other heroines of the original tale of Pride and Prejudice.
