Another excellent retelling. I like that Dev uses inspiration from Austen, but it still feels like her own entirely new romance. I also like that the characters I loved in the first too books are still around while the minor characters from the others get their spotlight. This particular book has a lot of trauma, so check out trigger warnings for this slow burn romance.
