I wanted to give this book four stars because I loved it, but the last half of the book was nothing but miscommunication.

I loved the Pride and Prejudice reference, though!

If you read this, forget everything you know about Emma. It’s a modern retelling firmly grounded in the modern era, and there is more than a little spice.

This book wasn't it for me. I haven't read Emma by Jane Austen but based on some other reviews this one fell short as a retelling. Didn't like the plot or the characters enough to keep reading.
