Dirty English by Ilsa Madden-Mills
4.0
4 stars!
This story was p cute. It was technically insta love and usually that bothers me but it didn’t this time.
It’s basically about this girl named Elizabeth who goes to a frat party in college and is saved from an uncomfortable situation by a hot British boy named Declan. And then irony of ironies they just so happen to be living in apartments right next to each other. Of course they fall in love but it takes a while because Elizabeth does not trust men or love (which is totally understandable if you read the first couple chapters).
I know this book is said to be a loose retelling of Jane Austen’s pride and prejudice. I just want to reiterate the loose part of that statement. Like to the point where there’s really not a point looking for parallels unless you want to. I suggest just enjoy the story :)
It was nice and short. Also I really liked the side characters especially Dax (I hope we get to see his story later).
Trigger warnings: rape, fighting, implied attempted suicide, attempted murder
