Most Ardently: A Pride & Prejudice Remix by Gabe Cole Novoa
Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.
This review says it for me:
"I was really looking forward to this but it didn't quite hit the mark for me. Oliver's story could have been written outside of Pride & Prejudice and I would have enjoyed it a lot more, I think.
Ultimately, Oliver was overshadowed and constricted by the original story and cast, and I was too distracted by the characters and plot points I recognized to really sink into the story.
What didn't work for me: aging down the characters to YA, the fast pace/short length, several of the side characters were rewritten in ways that didn't really work in my opinion, the romantic relationship between Oliver and Darcy
What did work for me: I really enjoyed Jane & Oliver's sibling relationship, and I loved that Charlotte was written as queer (I ship Charlotte and Lu!)"
