Unequal Affections: A Pride and Prejudice Retelling
by Lara S. Ormiston
I started reading this book in anticipation of Bridgerton season two being released and wanting to scratch that itch for a historical love story.
I enjoyed the story of what might have happened, had Elizabeth accepted Darcy's first proposal. There were parts that made me laugh out loud as a fan of Austen's work and I appreciated the homages to the original text while still making the story new and interesting.
Maybe it's just my modern sensibilities but I would have liked to see some of the characters given more depth and sensitivity. Lydia especially. (If you want the best portrayal of Lydia Bennet out there check out The Lizzie Bennet Diaries on Youtube, you won't be disappointed.)
I did like the deviation from one plot point (I won't spoil it, but I appreciate it). and how things were wrapped up at the end.
For fans of Pride and Prejudice, this is a must-read.
