I have finally read this book. I have had at least 4 people give me a copy of this book to read. This story is a modern reimagining of Pride and Prejudice. This story takes place in the hood and is a celebration of Black life. The story was entertaining. I really liked seeing how Zuri feels about her family and her home. It doesn’t have to be big or fancy, it’s hers. When Darius Darcy moves into the McMansion across the street, Zuri knows life is changing, and she wants nothing to do with it or either of the Darcy boys. A reader can still have the usual debate on who was the prideful one (to me Darius) and who was prejudiced. I love how it shows different aspects of Black life and that not everything is what is stereotypically seen. Overall another hit for Zoboi.
