I don’t know if it’s because I know the original story so well and I’ve seen so many different iterations of it, but this particular Pride and Prejudice retelling really seemed to drag, as far as pace went. It was fun to see some of the characters shown in new and more modern ways. But the pace made the overall story fall a little flat for me. (It was a selection for my book club. Had it not been, I probably would have DNF’d it.)
