This was a really well done retelling of Pride and Prejudice. The pacing was great. And in my opinion, the new spin of some of the time period specific issues to be more current day were handled creatively: Lydia's elopement scandal being less about the appropriateness of elopement and more about who she did it with (at least in Mrs. Bennet's opinion), Jane's IUI/pregnancy, the reality tv show aspect, a lot of the racial and other discriminatory undrotones that are common (sadly) in society today but were presented with a satiric and comedic tone, similar to Jane Austen's tone and commentary about the standards of her own time. Plus, as a CrossFitter, I enjoyed being able to laugh at myself a little, the way the community was presented in the story. Just in general, I felt that the author did a great job adjusting the original story to current day in a way that made the story flow in the same manner as the original, while not seeming to be trying too hard to do so. Also, a small note, I am a huge fan of really short chapters, and this book had those in spades!
