This is a delightful and well-crafted retelling of Pride and Prejudice. P&P retelling are easy to do in a mediocre way, but Nikki Payne has nailed it, particularly in her navigation of the class differences between the Bennetts and "Dorsey", and the stakes of the crisis as adapted for a contemporary setting. If you're searching for a contemporary Austen retelling or just a fun, steamy and diverse romance featuring a big family, this comes highly recommended.
