A delightful twist on Pride and Prejudice! Think if the Bennets were Hollywood and a Kardashian-esque family. Personally, I have no interest in the real Kardashians, but this was a fun way to modernize P&P. Plus, I always love a fake celebrity book.

A cute celebrity romance retelling of Pride and Prejudice! The pace really moves and it's easy to binge without it needing a ton of focus/energy, and it was really delightful to evaluate how she was adapting it while reading through it. There are really heavy parts though - the Jane character struggles with anorexia and the Darcy character had a suicide attempt - but overall it still feels very fun and a good romp. 
I'd recommend it to Pride and Prejudice fans who enjoy a good retelling or fans of celebrity romances.

I *love* a Pride and Prejudice retelling and this one which reimagines the Bennetts as a Kardashianesque family and Will Darcy & Charlie Bingley as actors is *so much fun*. I loved that it’s a story about sisters, about women being underestimated but showing that they’re so much more, and I thought it had a fantastic ending. Highly recommend!
