Pride and Protest
by Nikki Payne
This was a good modern adaptation of P&P.
I really liked the improvement on Mary's character. Maurice was a great substitute for Mary.
The book just seemed to lag a bit in the middle, then all the bigger events happened in the last 100 pages.
I don't know if it's just my Libby app, but the texts were formatted a little weird and I don't know who was texting who.
Mainly this Darcy (Dorsey) is an actual nice man. I don't think he's like Mr Darcy at all so I can't say this was an outright modern adaptation; Darcy started off P&P being a genuine asshole. He was misunderstood a bit, but he was haughty, but Dorsey wasn't as bad. He had his moments at the start, but he was more socially awkward than prideful.
All in all this was a good read, but it could have been cut down in parts.
