Emma: A Modern Retelling by Alexander McCall Smith

2.0

Audiobook review. So I haven’t read the original, but this book just didn’t feel modern. Perhaps it’s that I don’t know British English, but a dad who is all caught up about vitamins and a special school for English as a second language? I know Clueless is more of an adaptation versus a retelling, but this book pales in comparison to that reimagining. I don’t know why a 70-ish year old man was chosen to write this. I loved Eligible and am disappointed by this part of the series. But, on to the original!
