As an avid fan of Pride and Prejudice, I wanted to love a retelling. Instead, I finished this book so I could write a mean review of it that it 100% deserves. This books feel like it was written in 2000 with it's backwards views and need to mention anything that is "out of the ordinary". This book is fatphobic, homophobic, transphobic, racist and a nice hint of misogyny that would make Jane Austen disgusted. I do not recommend this book. Spend your time elsewhere. Only stars for this are because I love P&P.
