Just as You Are by Camille Kellogg
4.0
*I received this book from NetGalley in return for a honest review*
While I knew from the description when I first requested this book that it was a retelling of Pride and Prejudice I definitely forgot that fact when I started reading the book, until it got to a specific moment and all of the pieces fell into place.
This was a very fun story and while it was hard to like Daria at first (not surprisingly) I quickly fell in love with so many of the characters. I liked how it was a queer retelling of the story, and I always enjoy books taking place in the publishing world.
The story was close enough to the original that it was comfortably familiar, but different enough that I was engaged throughout the whole story.
