I’m so glad I found this on Kindle Unlimited. You can either read it as an ebook or audio format. We have Elizabeth (EJ) at the center as our main female MC. We have Jamie, a trans femme character (I kind of saw her as Jane?) & Tessa, our Filipina character. We follow the trio during their last / junior year of college. A lot of exposition in the background but it’s done in a way to make you get an idea of what Longbourne University is like as well as a set up for the story. You can definitely see some parallels between the classic and this modern take but I like how everything was normalized and people were being called out but not humiliated. Worth checking out.
