This review is for an ARC.
I hands down loved this book and will be grabbing a physical copy as soon as it comes out. I laughed, argued, choked up in parts, and very nearly cried!
It was a fun and fairly quick read that doesn't, to my knowledge, force itself to stick too strictly to Austin's original P&P. It takes what parts it wants and plays with them fairly well in my opinion.
The author tries to stick to the originals writing style, and while I found it fairly easy to ignore/work through, it does lead to some awkward prose and stilted dialogue. Not unlike trying to jam on a sock that doesn't quite fit. Not horrible, but a little distracting when you notice. Still, the story and characters are more than enough to carry you through to the end. I love them, and love getting to see a queer retelling/inspired version of this story.
