Most Ardently: A Pride & Prejudice Remix by Gabe Cole Novoa
5.0
I am so grateful for having received this ARC! I’ve always been so curious about these Remixed Classics and this book captured my heart right off the bat! I took this with me to read while visiting family for the holidays and it was so good, I ended up reading this all in one day.
Pride and Prejudice is already a much beloved classic so you’d assume it’d be hard to top such a thing. Here, I feel all of the queer elements brought to the table, especially with Oliver’s transness at the forefront, really enhanced the story that we already know and love and gave much more layers to each of the already fantastic cast of characters. I know this might sound like an exaggeration but I think I prefer this version of the story compared to the original! Or maybe that’s me being biased as a trans man myself.
I am so thankful this version of the story exists for young queer kids to grow up with and get to see themselves in Oliver and Darcy’s shoes! Makes me want to pick up all of the others in the Remixed Classics series and see what they have to offer!
