The Bennet Women by Eden Appiah-Kubi
4.0
The Bennet Women by Eden Appiah-Kubi is a retelling of Pride & Prejudice. We follow three best friends that live in an all-women’s dorm called The Bennet House. We follow EJ, an RA and engineering student that has big plans for success in the real world, Jamie, a trans woman who has recently come out, and Tessa, an astronomy major. These best friends go through the stress and struggles of school, love, and the surprises of life, all while having each other's backs.
The diversity representation in this book, which is amazing, and the social commentary hitting some tough topics make this book a must-read. You don’t need to know anything about Pride & Prejudice to enjoy this book.
The Bennet Women had me laughing out loud, hurting with them, and feeling inspired by their friendship and drive for life. I think the bond of friendship is where this book really shone. The writing style was easy to read and the plot was enjoyable. I highly recommend.
4.5 stars
