📚 Okay so obviously I love an Austen remix, especially P&P. And this did not disappoint! There were some great tender moments with family members, and between our two MMCs. There was still a medium level of intrigue/drama. And it was overall just really cute. There were a couple scenes that made me cry happy tears.
🎧 3rd person singular POV of our Bennet hero, Oliver. One male narrator. I thought the performer did a pretty good job with most of the book, although there were one or two scenes when multiple side characters were in the same scene together, where the voices weren't super distinct from each other.
🌶️ 1/5 This is a cute lil YA read, with nothing sexual. There are a couple of kisses and that's all. No pants feelings are even mentioned, only heart feelings.
🏳️🌈✊🏳️⚧️💖 The protagonist is a trans boy, and he, his love interest, and his best friend and her partner, are all queer. The Bennets are well off enough to have servants but not like rich. Darcy and Bingley are varying degrees of rich-rich. There wasn't any racial or ethnic diversity that I noted, which is maybe a little weird since this takes place in London, but we really don't meet very many characters outside of the Bennets, the love interests, and the villains.
