4.0

Having seen the film many times, this was a great read. Really funny, good relatability, doesn't take itself seriously. Fairly different from the film in that Mark Darcy is not in it as much, and

they don't properly end up together/kiss in the book.

Some parts slightly outdated, but interestingly so, as although not as PC with modern feminism, still quite relatable. A fun read.

Very much less my jam now than when I first read it as a teen.
Also really didn't age well (see whole list of CWs).

Loose retelling of Pride and Prejudice. Very 90s/2000s type of book. Not super good, but not super bad.

noranie's review against another edition

Kcal counting. She criticizes hers and other people's body. Also I'm not comfortable reading an alcoholic, smoker and binge eating person.
