I didn’t fully realize this was a genderbent Pride and prejudice until about 1/4 of the way into the novel. It didn’t stop me from reading though, a pleasant surprise. I loved learning about some of the intricacies of the Indian culture and the food! Although I do wish this wasn’t marked solely as a romance novel. Wickham does make a genderbent appearance and it involves the MC’s older brother & metoo movement. Some of the other topics are also heavy in theme and take over the romance aspect. I would check trigger warnings. It’s slow to start but enjoyable once you get used to the cast of characters involved.
