I LOVE Pride & Prejudice retellings, and I think this might be my favorite yet! 

This was a pleasant surprise as Nikki Payne’s more recent book, Sex Lies & Sensibility, didn’t really work for me. But this one is just immaculate. The chemistry between the two MCs is incredible, it explores some real social issues (like gentrification), and the writing is distinctive and flows beautifully.
