4.0

A cute celebrity romance retelling of Pride and Prejudice! The pace really moves and it's easy to binge without it needing a ton of focus/energy, and it was really delightful to evaluate how she was adapting it while reading through it. There are really heavy parts though - the Jane character struggles with anorexia and the Darcy character had a suicide attempt - but overall it still feels very fun and a good romp. 
I'd recommend it to Pride and Prejudice fans who enjoy a good retelling or fans of celebrity romances.

I *love* a Pride and Prejudice retelling and this one which reimagines the Bennetts as a Kardashianesque family and Will Darcy & Charlie Bingley as actors is *so much fun*. I loved that it’s a story about sisters, about women being underestimated but showing that they’re so much more, and I thought it had a fantastic ending. Highly recommend!

Clever concept for an updated Pride & Prejudice. At times extremely funny, at times surprisingly moving. Fluffy, enjoyable, and with a very satisfying ending. Particularly pleased with this adaptation’s inclusion of a confrontation between Lizzie Bennett and her father.
