![]() ![]() ![]() Jamie (our Jane) was just as sweet and lovely as the original, and Tim (our Mr Bingley) was cute and head over heels for Jamie.Ī lot of the plot, to be honest. But it always went in the same direction, and for the most part, I enjoyed the author's modern takes (Bennet and Darcy bonding over rock climbing) and it was exciting to see beloved quotes remade but still recognisable. I loved the way the story was loosely based on and followed the original one, with it's own. He was arrogant, proud, haughty, but he has a wry sense of humour that isn't apparent until Bennet, and the reader, gets to know him better. Darius (our Darcy) was fantastic, very like the original Darcy. He was a lot like the original Lizzie, in that he's headstrong, prejudiced and very intelligent. Bennet (our Elizabeth) was a great protagonist. I'll start with the things I really liked: I loved the premise behind it - a modern, gay retelling of Pride and Prejudice (aka my favourite novel ever) - but the execution was lacking, and a lot of the changes the author made were upsetting. Thanks to Wild Romance Books for providing a copy of an e-ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review. ![]()
