5-star idea. Brilliantly maps Pride and Prejudice characters and situations to modern DC setting. The whole Bennet family is chef's kiss! The overall execution and romance didn't quite land for me, it was well worth the read!

It’s a marvelous retelling. It really brings the story into 2024, and the tiny shifts in story are necessary to bring it into the present time. So enjoyable and the romance is verrry hot! So much tension!

The girls had been singing Nikki's praises for months and I get it now! NGL you couldn't convince me at the beginning stages of this book that it wasn't going to be above a 3 star but once I hit the 25% mark I was invested. 

Nikki took me by surprised with the way she wrote characters and crafted commentary on biases, class, beauty standards, privilege and definitions of success. I found myself getting irate with more than half of the side characters but came to see the beauty and intentionality of this writing choice. Nikki showcased flaws in every character (humanizing them) and allowed you to make your own decision based on their backstories. 

I was blown away by her ability to tackle issues like alcoholism, gentrification, prejudice, domestic violence and abandonment with light hearted comedy and romance.
