paperbackmoth 's review for:
The Bennet Women
by Eden Appiah-Kubi
This was a phenomenal read, and I regret that it took me so long to actually finish it due to life events.
To call it a modern retelling of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice does this title a disservice, it’s so much more than that. It’s raw, emotional, moving, inspirational, motivational, sweet, wholesome, and empowering. To follow a brilliant young woman, her friends, and loves in a college setting, navigating their futures, their present, their love lives, their friendships and the challenges of being people of color and trans.
I love the subtle growth towards love, a woman doesn’t need a man, she wants one. She’s strong and intelligent, carries herself with pride and does her own damn thing to reach her own goals. Motivated by her own power and will.
The love is an added gentle bonus. It’s a love that starts out as a not so great meeting, rocky.
While yes, I can see the absolute comparison and retelling of Pride and Prejudice it stands alone as it’s own remarkable and empowering story.
Wonderful book, great pacing, and honestly worth reading. Empowering, inspirational, and motivational. wonderful story about self discovery, learning the truth, being honest, following your heart, and always following your dreams.
You have to trust yourself while learning to trust others. Growth.
