• a refreshing & sexy retelling of Pride & Prejudice 
• I loved peeking behind the curtain into the world of Burlesque & I definitely learned something 
• Darcy is dreamy ALWAYS, but this particular iteration of our favorite closed off bachelor really did it for me ;) 
• the diversity was amazing all across the board & the complexity of the characters/relationships was so fun & real 
• the author had me rooting for this FMC & the whole “found family” from the beginning
