This is a modern, gender-flipped, loose retelling of Pride and Prejudice that focuses on the role of Darcy, which is filled by Trisha Raje, a brilliant (but frustratingly tone deaf and self-absorbed) neurosurgeon from a rich and powerful Indian American family. Her Elizabeth, the talented chef who captivates her despite her best efforts, is Darcy "DJ" Caine. There's also a Raje family secret/scandal, a Wickham complication, and DJ's sister will be ruined if Trisha doesn't help her.

The first half of the book was so frustrating that I almost didn't finish, but the last half was good enough that I'm glad I did. This could've easily been a 4-star read if the first half didn't spend so much time alluding to huge character- and plot-affecting backstory without giving any particulars for 100+ pages. The Rajes, and Trisha in particular for the first half, are not pleasant enough to hang out with for that long without some understanding and redemption underpinning the effort. Also, it seems unnecessarily confusing to name the male lead Darcy even though he's in the Elizabeth role. But, in general, I really liked the modern interpretation of the Pride and Prejudice plot points.
