Debating Darcy
by Sayantani DasGupta
A new take on Pride & Prejudice- throw in debate, classism, misunderstandings, and so much more. The story follows Leela Bose (Elizabeth) a speech competitor who loves a good laugh and goes to public school. When she meets Firoze Darcy (Darcy), a debater from an elite private school, they both get off on the wrong foot and thus begins our story. When Darcy makes a comment about Leela not doing debate she takes it upon herself to switch out and join the debate team and she is in for more than she bargained for. Throw in two flirty teammates, a gay best friend who has a crush on Darcy’s friend Bingley, an annoying Collin and her best friend Tomi and soon Leela and Darcy will be facing off against each other constantly butting heads. And of course we can’t forget a lot of other classic characters that get a modern spin. This was a fun new take on a classic story. I love Pride and Prejudice and I am always looking for new adaptations to read and this was a pleasant one to read. I would recommend it for fans of Pride and Prejudice! Leela is a bit more juvenile and a bit more prejudice but Darcy comes off as more awkward and misunderstood. They both are highschoolers so a lot can be forgiven in their attitudes. The story is pretty short but it covers a lot of the main parts of the original so props to the author for managing to get so much of it down. Truly a fun take on a classic!
