Lola At Last by J.C. Peterson

2.0

I love Pride and Prejudice so when I saw that this was a modern retelling of Lydia Bennet's life I was thrilled to read it. I love books where there the characters grow and change but it felt like there was so much talk on changing when I just would have liked her to say it once and show off her growth as a human being. Honestly, wasn't too concerned about this but it was a little detail that nagged me. An even bigger portion of the book that was just straight-up disappointing was the love interest. It looked like Lola met a guy who was all into her new hobbies so they must be perfect together right? He was so boring! And when he basically told her she wasn't worth the drama when she was trying... boy bye. That's just an unforgivable thing to tell a person. How could you trust them after that? More hiking and friendship hangouts, less romance, and this would have been a lot better.
