This retelling of Pride and Prejudice totally blew me away. It was funny, endearing, and spicy, and the characters still felt like they carried the personalities of the original, but it was so perfectly updated for a modern time. I love the shifts in the storyline that the authors made while still nodding to the original (looking at Lydia's story here!) and I think how they are building out the retelling universe with letting other Austen characters be side characters is fantastic.

I can't wait to catch up on Emma of 83rd Street and I will be ready and waiting for their next one to come out!
