This book is for the girlies who love the movie Clueless and the girlies who want to read Jane Austen’s Emma but just can’t get into classic literature. Okay it’s me, I’m girlies. I found this modern retelling of Emma to be absolutely delightful and if I wasn’t already married I would ask for one George Knightley under my Christmas tree! And I am very happy to say there was plenty of steam in this version.

Thank you to the publisher for allowing me to read this eARC!

I enjoyed this retelling of Emma, I thought it was fun and sweet and well thought out. Normally, retellings can feel bland to me but this was definitely unique.

Really cute! I think obviously as the author alludes to in this very text there are quite a number of Emma adaptations, but the more the merrier I say especially if they were as fun to read as this one. I loved the character parallels (Miss Taylor and Margot; Mr. Weston and Ben; the father as... the father) even more so because of the way they differ from the original text — Ben being Knightley's brother, Emma's dad being the way he is because of a tragic past — overall found the characters very lovable and sweet.
