I really think this book being so short did not do it any favors. I really wanted so much more from this. Everything felt really fast and kind of forced. I had such a hard time with Zuri. She’s kind of unlikable and she’s more judgmental than anyone. It’s her thing.. that people judge them and don’t take time to get to know them. Yet, she does the same exact thing to everyone based on where they live and how much money they have. It was just so tiring to hear her talk about the same things over and over. We got from 0-60 so fast with the hate to love relationship too. No depth there. I just read another great Pride and Prejudice retelling and I have been comparing them. This one didn’t come close. I just don’t think the writing style was for me or lack of story and character building. It was a really fast read and I did love the family relationship.
