I really enjoyed this retelling of Pride and Prejudice. It’s definitely leaning towards the ya side of the novel world but that doesn’t take away from the fictional lives of Zuri and Darius. Zuri is supposed to embody Elizabeth and Darius is Mr. Darcy. I cherished the family moments a lot with the Benitez sisters and the author did a great job at developing each of the sisters as their own person. I do wish the chapters were longer because I think it stifled a little bit some of the voices I was just getting to know, that’s my only pressing concern.
