Blinded by Prejudice: A Pride and Prejudice Variation by KaraLynne Mackrory
5.0
Truly enjoyed this variation. It was a fresh take and after 20 years of reading P&P variations that often seems impossible. I would have been interested in this being told as dual narration rather than only from Elizabeth's point of view, but I think only being in her head made understanding Darcy's new reality.
I'm not a super fan of the miscommunication trope, which there was a little of toward the last quarter of the book, but it was resolved without a third act breakup--and because (presumably) the reader has read the original work, you know exactly what the miscommunication is and it's more of a "UGH, FFS" than a truly angsty miscommunication. Full disclosure, I LOVE me some angst, so that was actually kind of a bummer.
