This. Book. Was. So. Cuuuuute!!!! I loved it so much. If you don’t know, Most Ardently (amazing title BTW), is a Pride and Prejudice retelling with a trans man as our lead character! Gabe Cole Novoa, the author, did an amazing job at retelling one of my favorite classic novels. I loved all of the remix changes to the original story (like Darcy opening up to Oliver in the beginning, the audacity of Wickham or the kiss!!!) and I just thoroughly enjoyed it especially since this is my second Pride and Prejudice retelling I’ve read this year. Lol. I’m definitely going to be reading the other books in this series.
