Wow, the turmoil over whether to make this a 5-star read or not. Mostly because I've never been so particular before, so it skews my previous reviews. Oh well.
This was so genuine to Pride and Prejudice, which is mostly to its complement but is also the reason it's not a full 5 stars for me. I've read quite a few Austen adaptations at this point and most are reimaginings, but this is straight up an alternate future set in the same universe as the original. The style of writing is true-to-period, as are all the plot points and conventions throughout. It's honestly remarkable in that sense.
Alas, I felt the romance started to resemble P & P just a tad too much in parts.
