This is a sweet book with the author stretching to pull out similarities to PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, which might work for an unsophisticated reader, but not for me.

I think it is appropriate for a much younger demographic which can appreciate the romance while getting a tiny glimpse of the wonders that are P and P. If it encourages any of them to pick up the original or even watch the A AND E version, then it is a good pick. I simply couldn't find the value or entertainment.

How does Darcy know what the Bennet siblings are up to if she hasn't been home in eight years and hardly talks to her family? Why on earth would anyone think it was a good idea to turn Lizzie Bennet into a boy character who would snap a girl's bra and torment her because he "likes" her and doesn't know how to say so? Why is this still a thing that's seen as acceptable both in fiction and in real life? Does anything get edited anymore? These are the questions that keep me up at night.

This was a fun play on the understood dynamics of relationships from Jane Austen's beloved Pride and Prejudice. I enjoyed he modern characters and found his an easy, surface read to occupy a couple hours on a cold, rainy day.
