A review by theboricuabookworm
Pride and Protest by Nikki Payne

Did not finish book. Stopped at 75%.

It had a great start and as a P&P girlie I loved the premise, the execution just did not achieve what I thought it could and I genuinely don't think the payoff was going to redeem it. There was also a 2 page H*rry P*tter reference that was wholly unnecessary and should have been cut in the year of our lord 2022. There were a few harmful stereotypes perpetuated by several side characters that, prior to the DNF, had yet to be addressed other than something cringing and eye-rolling that just didn't feel great. I'll still be picking up Sex, Lies, and Sensibility because I enjoyed the writing and I would like to see Nikki succeed!
