A romantic comedy and Pride and Prejudice combined into one? YES PLEASE. This is such a wonderful book.

I’m not sure how I feel about this one still. I liked it while I was reading it but I found it very forgettable. I did really like the characters and the story line.

What an incredibly fun and innovative take on Pride and Prejudice. I didn't know what to expect but absolutely had a ball with this one.

The classic retelling of Pride and Prejudice with a twist. Definitely something that will draw a reader if you want a twist on the classic story.

Pride and Prejudice is a classic. This one sounded promising. However. it wasn't my favorite adaptation. The characters were diverse which was great. However it strayed too far from the adaptations original for my liking. I love a good back and forth opposites attract story. Not having sisters, confusing characters, it didn't hit the mark for me.

I love a good austentatious retelling, especially Pride and Prejudice, but this one didn't do it for me.

You can't just tack on "Pride and Prejudice retelling" (sorry "lightly inspired by") just because they're enemies-to-lovers. And even if there was no P&P in this, mainly just character names, it still was a choppy romance and didn't stand well on its own. It was not even close to a rom com. There is no comedy in this. It's almost a thriller but not quite. Big disappointment.

This book was pretty uneven for me. I enjoyed parts of it, and liked that it wasn't an exact retelling, but the "high stakes" of it all, esp towards the end, just seemed so over the top that it made it hard to take seriously.

Pride and prejudice retelling?! Title and cover art snagged me. The plot was okay and the characters were meh. I could see what the author was trying for but it fell short for me. Our main character was young and that came across but I didn’t get the feeling like she ever deserved her big role other than being a young striking girl in a man’s world. There just wasn’t enough substance to her to believe her work is what caught all the lucky breaks.

This was an enjoyable twist on the Pride and Prejudice framework with a sports journalist and an athlete. It's a light read.

Unfortunately, I did not finish this book. It just didn't keep me interested. I didn't really care for the characters, either. I was really hoping for an awesome rom com, but it just fell a little flat.

*Thank you @stmartinspress for the copy in exchange for an honest review. Review not posted to Amazon/Goodreads because less than 4 stars or DNF.*

sooooo this book was a disappointment. nothing like pride and prejudice or a retellings of it. felt so disappointed with this read

This was a cute book! It wasn't quite what I was expecting as an interpretation of Pride and Prejudice, but it was a decently quick read and pretty easy to follow. Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC!

A welcome and diverse adaptation of an Austen classic. It is adaptive without being replicative. The plot is a bit cookie-cutter, but the third act was a surprise that lent a sense of realism and believability. The backstory is less so. The writing style is simple and reads more YA than adult, although the plot is decidedly not for young readers. This style choice lends an unfinished feel. Hara, is refreshing, if naive, which does not jive with her background and overall sense of self at the same time, Derek is aloofly conventional, with little surprises. The characters had the requisite detail, but the depth was not there. Their chemistry was on the tepid side, with a little too much-telling vice showing. The concepts of unconventional family dynamics held a lot of promise, but the narrative focused on the relationship, which was more mundane. Still, I would recommend it to fans of Austen adaptations.

Apologies for the late notice, but I have decided not to review this title. While I am certain it's obvious by now, I wanted to also clear this off NetGalley, so it's not showing as open for either of us.

Unfortunately, this book was not for me which absolutely kills me as a romance reader and Pride and Prejudice fab. I felt the plot just completely dragged and was not engaged at all.

I am sorry for the inconvenience but I don’t have the time to read this anymore and have lost interest in the concept. I believe that it would benefit your book more if I did not skim your book and write a rushed review. Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience.

This book was so cute!! I love a pallet cleanser like this after a heavy book or heavy fantasy! I thought the characters were super cute and I was rooting for them!!

The Wrong Mr. Darcy by Evelyn Lozada & Holly Lorincz follows a young woman, Hara Isari who aspires to be a female sportswriter and Derek Darcy, a famous Boston basketball player. Hara won a writing contest and the prize was an interview with the team. She first runs into Derek at the airport and then runs into him at the owners house where she would be staying. Between parties, interviews and games Hara builds a friendship with Derek which turns into a budding romance. Add in drama on and off the court The Wrong Mr. Darcy is the perfect read for a light fast paced romance.

I did not enjoy this book. The writing felt contrived and the characters unrealistic; had I not been reading this to review, I would have stopped after the first chapter.
