Summary: (from goodreads.com)
Kitty Bennet is finished with love and romance. She lost her one-time fiance in the Battle of Waterloo, and in the battle's aftermath saw more ugliness and suffering than she could bear. Staying with her Aunt and Uncle Gardiner in London for the winter, Kitty throws her energies into finding a husband for her hopelessly bookish sister Mary, and discovering whatever mysterious trouble is worrying her sister Jane. But then she meets Mr. Lancelot Dalton, a handsome clergyman with a shadowed past--and discovers that though she may be finished with love, love may not be at all finished with her.
Kitty Bennet's Diary is Volume 3 of the Pride and Prejudice Chronicles. It can be read alone, but refers to events from Volumes 1 and 2. Kitty Bennet's Diary is appropriate for all ages.

** The book had been sent by the author for an honest review and by no means the review is biased/influenced**
STAR RATING: 4/5
DESCRIPTION IN ONE LINE: The near perfect close to the series.
Title: The title was appropriate as it shows that the focus has moved from Georgiana to Kitty as the former had found her closure and Kitty was still left hanging with her emotions.
Title Rating: 4/5
Cover: The cover maintained the depicting a scene from the story but that building doesn't justify anywhere from the story. The cover could have been better than this but this is a personal opinion and others might choose to differ from it.
Cover Rating: 3.5/5
Characters: KITTY: The old immature Kitty is found nowhere and is replaced by a girl full of self reproach and fully sensible. She has decided to let no person be allowed to bypass her rigid mental wall that she has built around herself. There are so many things bothering her emotionally but she finally found that she could be phoenix.
LANCELOT: Scarred from within but strong from the outside. He is a man with a golden heart who appears most interestingly to rescue his damsel in distress. His encounters and behaviour towards Kitty is most musing and kept me turning page after page.

Characters Rating:4/5
Review: The story finally takes a turn from serious to amusing. The dialogues made me laugh out loud. Kitty has decided to get Mary married and become a proper society woman but she has no clue that while helping Mary come out of her shell and bringing Jane's misfortune to an end she'll lose her heart to a man who shares her concerns and has been scarred from the same battle but just mentally. Her discovery of love is most entertaining and from book 1 to 3 the story took turn towards exciting.
Review Rating: 4/5
Appreciation: This books USP was the wit and humour in the dialogues which refresh your mind from usual blandness of your life and make the characters so much more interesting.
Let Downs: I will openly admit that out of the entire series this book was the one I loved the most so I don't feel there were any letdowns in the plot or the story.
Final Verdict: This book has its own set of charms and Mary, Kitty and Jane were all who made us believe that there can be a story without Elizabeth stealing the show. (Although Elizabeth will always be my favourite)
Would I be reading more from ANNA ELLIOTT: Good reading material is always every author's dream so I shall buy some more for my kindle.
