This was a free book and I love Pride and Prejudice so I gave it a shot. The story was pretty close to the original just taking place at college. I didn’t realize it was a romance and the detailed sex scenes kinda put me off. I don’t need to think of Darcy and Elizabeth like that. I like the story without that.

This was fun and cute (and rather steamy) but it felt loooooong.

I've wanted to read this for a while but was sad I couldn't get a hold of it--or so I thought. What luck to discover that I have access to Kindle Unlimited! It's a whole new world of books!
I love Pride and Prejudice though I haven't read a lot of retellings. I was very pleased with this version, though I know it will not appeal to everyone. There is a lot of forward/crude language and lots of descriptive sex, which will really not work for the P&P purists who think of our main couple as being very proper. Personally, I loved it! It was glorious to see the two of them argue and situate themselves in the modern world. I found the writing to be well done, the characters to be well fleshed out (regardless of it being a retelling), and the plot both well executed and believable as a modern adaptation. I would recommend this one to anyone who loves P&P adaptations who isn't scared off by some smutty goodness. What fun!
Tropes: m/f; ridiculously rich male with scholarship student female; introverted male comes across as stuck up or privileged but has a heart of gold; extroverted feminist female comes across as a know-it-all who doesn't want to understand other people's views but also has a heart of gold; enemies to lovers; NOT a slow burn; super crude language and hot sexy goodness throughout; intimacy/trust issues on both sides but for different reasons; mentions of sexual assault (not main couple) from past; female experiences slut-shaming, slander, and attacks on her professionalism/academic credibility; racist background character; discussions of classism and privilege throughout; emphasis on safe sex and consent
Heat rating: HOT—sex scenes throughout with explicit language, which adds to the overall story and relationship.

Honestly almost a three star, just not quite there. The ending was very very cute. Definitely a fun read if you adore P&P retellings.

I love this retelling of pride and prejudice. Altho I've read several fanfictions it never felt enough. This one quite hits the mark for me and the steamy scenes are really good.
