Welcome to Litsy!

Final book completed for September's #20in4 - this is a short, fluffy, modern adaptation of P&P that I had a few quibbles with but overall enjoyed. I especially liked that the author decided to keep all the sisters (a lot of modern adaptations seem to think it's ridiculous that a family would have five kids) and that Darcy was a reasonable person, not just a total jerk. I would have liked this one to be a little longer, as it felt like some ⬇️

After all the heavy stuff I'd been reading, I really needed something light and fun, and this book turned out to be just that. It's a modernization of P&P, and I don't know if the book would work on its own, without any previous knowledge of the original, but I appreciated that the author didn't overexplain anything. Some updates worked better than others, but overall I felt the author had done a good job.

I'm always interested to see how authors decide to “update“ P&P, and while this one wasn't groundbreaking, it was a great deal of fun with some #laughter along the way. I really liked the way the author decided to interpret some of the characters and scenarios, although I was confused why half the people had the same first names as their original counterparts, while others were randomly changed (seriously, she keeps Fitzwilliam but changes George⬇

If you are love a fun take on Pride and Prejudice, than this is going to be a good choice for you. Hits all to story notes you know and love. #romantsy

I'm always a sucker for a P&P variation. This modern adaptation was a lot of fun. I felt like the author hit it right updating various scenarios, although I was a smidge confused about why some random first names were changed from the originals while others weren't. While this book could have used a little more depth and development, it was a fun, lighthearted story.
