Good Fortune by C.K. Chau

4.0

funny lighthearted medium-paced

---

This was a fun read. The author  follows pride and prejudice plot points step by step, updating the primary setting to Chinatown Manhattan , early 2000s. - harking back to a pre-cellphone world. I don't know why i continue to read these P&P retellings, because most of them are pretty bad, but I thought this author was really successful here. My only gripe was the Lydia disaster in the end -

as a minor, the legal and criminal repercussions for the Wickham character should have been severe

-  but otherwise, no complaints!
