A review by bookdragonamy
The Bennet Women by Eden Appiah-Kubi
3.0
I won this book in a goodreads giveaway in exchange for a review.
I love how diverse these characters are. It’s really refreshing. The characters were well rounded to me. I didn’t like was the switching of narratives but that is something I personally don’t like.
I think it does have the vibe of a Pride and prejudice story telling but at times while I was reading the book I’d forgotten that. Which in my opinion is good because when I look for a modern anything Jane Austen I’m not looking for an exact copy of her original stories, as some retellings turn out to be.
I can’t wait to recommend this to some of my friends who love modern retellings like this.
