I got bored of Austen retellings years ago, but this one is SO GOOD. I appreciated the Pakistani voices and the glimpse of a culture I'm unfamiliar with. Even though I marked this as "lighthearted" because, hey, it's P&P, the author is using a familiar story to address her serious concerns about her culture. 

You already know how it's going to end, but the journey is worth it.  

I listened to the audiobook, which is read by the author who does an excellent job. Her afterword is worth the listen as well.
