This was an interesting take on Jane Austen's <i>Pride and Prejudice</i>.  It takes the well know story and puts it in contemporary Pakistan.  It was definitely a creative take on the story.  I did find the book to be a bit long winded and it catered a bit toward people already familiar with the culture in Pakistan.  That being said, I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to other readers.

This was a fun read, but I wish it would have branched a bit more from the original. That, or reference Austen less. It was a little unbelievable to have Darsee talk about Darcy or Alys quote Pride & Prejudice without anyone in the story catching the similarities.

I genuinely laughed out loud while reading multiple parts of this book. It makes me realize just how annoying Elizabeth Bennett's character was in Pride & Prejudice.
