novellie 's review for:

Pride by Ibi Zoboi
2.0

For me this book was just.... meh.

The story was cute - I was destined to enjoy it since it was a Pride and Prejudice retelling - and the characters were fun, but the rest just seemed to fall flat. What I really didn't like at ALL was the use of slang that threw me off. The amount of times characters said things like "spill the tea" or "you're so thirsty" just... didn't hit for me. I knew it would be a push for me to enjoy this since I'm not a big fan of contemporary books at all, so I'm not necessarily surprised by all this.

Still, it was a quick read and had a fun story but still... meh.
