One of my favorite adaptations of Pride and Prejudice I've read -- I felt like I really knew each of the Bennetts and could see how they exist in modern society. And some of the changes that were made to the plot were surprising in a good way -- it really felt like experiencing something new. I was a tad disappointed with the ending, though.
Liz proposing to Darcy when they haven't even dated yet? That just didn't feel believable to me.
But overall I really enjoyed and would recommend.
