Cute and easy to read. Fun for those who liked Pride and Prejudice, but wouldn't be offended by some adjustments. Good for being sick or a beach trip.

Witty, fun pride and prejudice contemporary take. Very fun and easy read. A little bonkers and not always socially correct but silly

I'm a sucker for Pride and Prejudice adaptations and thoroughly enjoyed this one. Sittenfeld took some interesting departures from the original but overall I think it was an excellent modernization. I would imagine some people might not enjoy a few liberties taken, especially P & P purists, but I thought it was a lot of fun.

Too slow - just not in the mood for it

Unputdownable! So cleverly written, staying true to the story but updating it in the most brilliant way.
