I'm going to start out by saying Jane Austin is a win for me.

But this book fell flat for me. Emma I couldn't get on board for her. I didn't like her and I almost dnf it a few times. There are saving moments for me for this book but I would of enjoyed a lot more if Emma wasn't in it. Now the next book is set up for pride and Prejudice story and I'm here for it and will be giving it a go.

I feel sad this wasn't it for me I'm one of the few that didnt like it.

Thank you NetGalley and Gallery Books for this E arc in exchange for an honest review.

This was a cute retelling of Emma. I love the setting in New York and I think this is a great book for young adults and those that love Emma by Jane Austen.

This wasn’t my thing. I don’t enjoy Jane Austen and books of manners, etc but I thought a retelling might pull me in.

I just think it’s a not for me situation. The book and writing seem fine.

I couldn't get through five pages of this. I found this to be poorly written and was uninterested in continuing to read.

Oh wow, this book really surprised me to be honest. I really, really enjoyed it! I would definitely recommend this one to friends!

This was such a great read! I have to admit, I'm not the biggest fan of the original Emma but after the 2020 film adaptation, I've had a greater appreciation for it and I'm attracted to retellings of it. The NYC setting made this book and I really loved the writing.

If I had never read Emma, this would have been a delightful romance story with a main couple that I was rooting for with all their tension.

But I have read Emma. And this made it EVEN BETTER. This is a great adaptation written by two people who clearly love the original book and the original characters and they effortlessly transported our dear Emma Woodhouse from being the belle of Woodbury to the star of 83rd street.

This book was super cute and kind of gave me grown-up Eloise at the Plaza vibes. This book is the perfect chick lit and I definitely will be recommending it! Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for sharing this book with me!!!

Emma of 83rd Street was a Jane Austen fan fiction of sorts by Audrey Bellezza and Emily Harding. The coauthorship was good and the writing done well. I personally love Jane Austen fan fiction!
I would call this a miscommunication and friends to lovers trope. It’s a debut novel and hope they write another. Emma and George were adorable and I loved the ending.

I have always been a big Jane Austen girlie, and I love retellings. This Emma retelling is fun, modern, and steamy! Thank you Netgalley and Gallery Books for the egalley in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this modern retelling of Emma (for context though, I haven't read the original but I have watched Clueless a dozen times). I thought that the authors did a really good job at framing the issues Emma faced into a modern context. I also enjoyed reading Knightley's point of view and thought the author's did give him more depth of character than what I thought would happen. Nadine was a little on the light side for story telling, but I did like the mix up that happened between Emma and Nadine thinking they liked the same man. Most tellings keep it, but I don't think that it's always necessary to have a real controversy over liking the same man and I'm glad that the authors did side step it.

4/5 stars ⭐️

I completely adored this modern retelling of Emma!!!

The fact that this book was written by two authors is truly mind blowing because of how beautifully seamless the writing is. I had a blast reading this and found myself binging the story because of how sucked in I was.

Friends to lovers is easily one of my favorite tropes and this story truly swept me off my feet. How much I loved this book was surprising to me because I typically am not always a huge fan of classic retellings, but this one truly outdid itself and I loved it.

I loved this modern retelling of Jane Austen’s Emma! I immediately connected to the MC Emma Woodhouse as she supports her family, best friends - the Knightly brothers, and her new friend Nadine. I’m always a sucker for a dual POV because I like to get both perspectives of the main characters. I listened to the audiobook since Teddy Hamilton, my favorite male narrator, did a great job with George Knightly. Brittany Pressley is the female narrator, and she is one of my favorite female narrators too! Emma of 83rd Street is delightful, and I couldn’t stop listening! I highly recommend adding this one to your TBR shortlist.

A classic romcom, easy enjoyable read! I was initially attracted to this book by the cover and I’m glad I did, it was the perfect summer beach read that I’ve already recommended to several friends!

This book is a modern retelling of Jane Austen’s ‘Emma’, and I have to say that I really enjoyed this story despite not being too familiar with Austen’s original work.

Emma and George have been best friends forever. Growing up as neighbors they’ve always had a special bond. Theirs is a slow burn, friends to lovers romance and the tension and chemistry between the characters was off the charts.

This was a thoroughly entertaining and heartwarming read. The book was well done, and these authors have earned themselves a fan. This one is definitely worth your time if you enjoy slow burn and/or friends to lovers romance.

Emma on 93rd Street is a sweet retelling of Emma. I actually think you could read this one without knowing that and still really enjoy it. I love modern retellings, but I was a little nervous, because Jane Austen is a great author and I wasn't sure how I would feel about the modern take. Audrey Ballezza and Emily Harding made it work. I loved the NYC setting and the new take on an old classic.

A huge thank you to Gallery Books for granting me access to this title. I enjoyed buddy reading it with my bookish buddies on Bookstagram!

This was a fun modern retelling of Emma cause Emma was a well to do lady in her time with the connections of her father.. I love all the retellings of Emma, always heart in the right place but not quite hitting the mark.
Loved Knightley. He's a favorite of mine. And this version is also kind of mysterious in his childhood friend turned sexy neighbor role and the realization of not knowing when that happened. Always love when it hits her like a lightning bolt. I wasn't expecting the slow burn to turn into steam but I was here for it. It was definitely well earned and the last bit was hilarious with her sister.

Thank you gallerybooks for the e-ARC for the honest and voluntary review.

I love Jane Austen’s retellings! And this one did not disappoint. It is funny and adorable and so sweet. Definitely don’t skip this one!!

I am always up for a good Jane Austen variation, so I was happy to give this book a try. The authors put a creative and interesting spin on the story and the writing flowed nicely making this a thoroughly entertaining read. In this modern retelling of Emma, the two main characters remained true to form, but in a more modernized, spicy version. The witty and fun banter was on point and I also liked the addition of Knightley's POV. I really became engaged in the story and couldn't put it down! I thought the authors did a nice job of maintaining the authenticity of the characters and keeping with the spirit of the classic, while putting a modern twist on things. It's a most captivating read from beginning to end. I am always on the lookout for authors that create Austen variations, especially modernized ones, and these authors have, without a doubt, been added to that list. Really enjoyed this!
I received a complimentary copy from Netgalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.
