I love retellings, so I was really excited about this book. But, as I read it, the parts I loved the most were when it diverged from its source material. There were as many Shakespeare references as Austen plot moments, so it didn’t feel like a full Pride and Prejudice retelling. However, that isn’t really a knock on this book. The characters were great, and I loved their chemistry and their growth. I almost want a sequel because I loved them so much! Very much worth the read.
