Honestly one of the best retellings of Pride and Prejudice I have read. It had the layers with the plot and the characters that would’ve made Jane Austin proud

The book started out great. But I really tried to finish but the book was too long and as it progressed it kept just didn’t hold my attention

A romance for Romance Week, and a retread of Austenian tales! This was mostly fun, though it took me about 250 pages to realize TRISHA is our Darcy-stand in (which I should've caught earlier given how DJ often thinks she's snobbish). A thing I remind myself is that it's ok to have unlikeable protagonists, and it's even plot important here but wooooooof is Trisha so singlemindedly focused sometimes.
Book had surprisingly heavy bits in it too that I wasn't necessarily expecting in a romance novel (cw:) which felt like a tonal change, but maybe I expect the genre to be fluffier in general.
Intrigued enough to read the next ones.

So good! So fun to read about Indian ness and about califonia. And it’s always fun to get a new take on a classic, esp one that I just read. I wouldn’t read this again (though I did really enjoy It) but I want to read the emma project and Austen’s emma at some point!
