3.0

so I liked the premise of an afro-latino retelling of pride and prejudice, with the inclusion of class, gentrification, and identity, but it felt a bit disjointed as a story. I can see why the book is only named pride because it only focused on that aspect really, however, it was mostly on zuri (our Lizzie) and I felt like only she changed overall, why our Darcy (Darius) didn't really develop and I don't know how I feel about that. I also think their journey from hate to love was rushed and just confusing and we don't really see why Darius acts the way he does...
