Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC!
The 2005 Pride and Prejudice is my jam, no one can tell me otherwise. Give me a P&P retelling and I’m there; now give me a retelling with the FMC being loosely based off Charlotte Lucas? SOLD!
Sadly this was a slog to get through. The story felt all over the place with no consistency. It felt like a debut novel with the writing and ultimately Charlie was absolutely insufferable. She brought everything onto herself and I didn’t really feel sympathy towards her. The only good thing was Liam who is an absolutely amazing book boyfriend.
