If you know me, you also know that I named my dog after Darcy's estate in Pride and Prejudice. So, I'm kind of a fan. And I am such a fan of this modern retelling! Not only did it tackle the "love story" of two people from different social classes, it addressed culture, identity, and judgment, it included a bit of free verse that really spoke truth, and it shined a light on the reality of gentrification and inequality that's still so prevalent in the U.S. Highly recommend!
