A superficial rewrite of Pride and Prejudice, the characters are never developed and serious topics such as being transgender, facing discrimination, eating disorders, body dysmorphia, infertility and abortion are dismissed as minor, irrelevant or with voyeurism. This rewrite is the furthest from what Jane Austen wrote.
Graphic: Abortion, Alcohol, Body horror, Body shaming, Dysphoria, Homophobia, Outing, Transphobia, Eating disorder, Infertility, Pregnancy, and Toxic relationship
