Pride was a classic enemy to friends to lovers story, and I loved it. Another thing that I loved was how the dynamics of the two families were highlighted and how they were one of the main focuses of the story. I also loved Zuri, how she grew as a character, how her relationship with Darius developed, and how as they went from enemies to friends to lovers they learned and any previous misconceptions about each other were resolved.

A really interesting take on Pride and Prejudice. It was great to see what characters were kept and what changed as well as how it was adapted to a modern setting and Black perspective. I did struggle with the colloquial language but that is my personal taste.

Have you ever wished you could read Pride and Prejudice again for the first time? Then read this book! Even knowing Austen backwards and forwards I was completely taken with and surprised by the plot. The characters were excellent updates. You can hate Wickham/Warren with new fervor. Darius is all the levels of moody and perfect. And Zuri is the heroine in every way. Her love for her family and her home shine. She’s tender and opinionated and I would also fight a slimy boy for her. But she wouldn’t need me to.
