PRIDE retells Jane Austen's PRIDE AND PREJUDICE in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bushwick. Ibi Zoboi makes this story fresh and new, placing old worries and new love in a modern context so seamlessly that you don't have to be familiar with the original to be pulled into Zuri's world. Her love for her family shines through, and her rapport with Darius Darcy has a wonderful mix of tension and romance. Elizabeth Acevedo's performance as the audiobook narrator is so perfect, bringing the story to life and making me believe that she is Zuri.
