Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite books of all time, so I was a little apprehensive about reading this modern version. I quickly realized that I need not have worried, because I loved every minute of this book! I read it in about 2 sittings because I couldn't wait to see how each piece of the original story would be re-imagined. If you think knowing the story means you can predict this book, guess again! I was taken by surprise more than once by unexpected plot twists that still somehow preserved the essence of the original work. A quick, delightful read for Austen fans and laypeople alike!

Cute and easy to read. Fun for those who liked Pride and Prejudice, but wouldn't be offended by some adjustments. Good for being sick or a beach trip.

Witty, fun pride and prejudice contemporary take. Very fun and easy read. A little bonkers and not always socially correct but silly

I'm a sucker for Pride and Prejudice adaptations and thoroughly enjoyed this one. Sittenfeld took some interesting departures from the original but overall I think it was an excellent modernization. I would imagine some people might not enjoy a few liberties taken, especially P & P purists, but I thought it was a lot of fun.
