This was a delightful take on a Pride and Prejudice retelling with lots of interesting references to modern queer culture and interesting twists to the original story. A really great read!

 Just as You Are hits a fine line, paying dutiful homage to Austen's Pride and Prejudice while still remaining very much its own story - Kellogg's playfully crafted take on modern queer life in NYC.

love love loved this! the characters felt real and weren’t perfect. Daria and Liz, as well as all of the side characters, were wonderfully written and lots of fun.

it was a P&P retelling for P&P lovers and for those who don’t/haven’t read. While it was very obviously a retelling (character names etc) it was one that took the told many times plot and elevated it, taking the characters to new heights!

I loved the authors writing style and descriptive writing. I also loved that
the magazine didn’t stay open, it was realistic to the current stage of society
while still letting the characters stay hopeful and end up happy.
