Should I read the book?

Watched the show for the first time last week and absolutely LOVED it and have already re-watched it. However, I've never read the book. Does the book give a lot more detail than the show? Is it worth the read & does it add extra sparkle to the story for someone who loved S1? Would be interested to read it if it gives even more color to mary & Tom's interactions & Toms backstory. Thanks!

Miss Caroline Bingley deserves…

Her own spin-off!

Imagine going through life gaining sophistication at the cost of losing society!

It could be a hilarious parody ! Amazing if played by the same actor as in the BBC The Other Bennet Sister!

Does Tom ask Mr Gardiner for his blessing?

In rewatching TOBS multiple times, I could believe that Tom asks The Gardiners for their blessing to propose to Mary. Or at least, speaks to them of his intention with Mary. I believe this would’ve been done in London before the Lakes trip.

I think they would’ve given their blessing but made clear it is Mary’s choice.

Mrs Gardiner’s looks at the Inn when Tom arrives suggest to me she is in on a plan.
I could even believe the Gardiners were tracking that Tom wanted to propose on the top of Scarfell.
