This is a contemporary, burlesque retelling of Pride and Prejudice. The side characters are great, with there being some great changes to the original story that work really well: Jane and Charles are gay, Liz Bennett's family is a made family of friends from the burlesque club, Will Darcy's snobbery comes from misunderstanding burlesque, and more. I recommend for a fun retelling of this classic romance story of misunderstandings and slow-burn chemistry.
