Most Ardently by Gabe Cole Novoa

emotional hopeful fast-paced

4.5

While not a faithful retelling, it’s was a wonderful read about trans joy. There were many moments I teared up, especially when
Mr. Bennet accepted Oliver’s true self so readily with open arms.
Some characters I thought remained the same, like Charlotte’s pragmatism and Darcy’s stoic but awakened nature really shining through, while some characters seemed entirely different, with
Wickam and Mr. Collin’s being grotesque misogynists and actively evil
compared to what was described in the original material. Overall, it’s a lovely story I would recommend for the story’s queer take on P&P, with mild warnings for Oliver’s descriptions of his dysphoria and the gross misogynistic comments some of the men make.
