Fast, lighthearted(ish) historical YA queer and trans romance retelling of Pride and Prejudice where everything works out way better than expected! Don't expect this to be a shot-for-shot remake or keep the diction; it has the characters and plot elements but it's otherwise a modern retelling--and that's fine! 
The character deals with a lot of misgendering, misogyny, and dysphoria throughout the book, but almost everyone who knows he's a boy is accepting and loving and incredibly supportive so it works out and feels really wholesome overall. I want Mr. Bennet to be my dad.
