pickAfter reading a few reviews here, I checked out an audio copy. I loved it. A contemporary take on Pride & Prejudice this YA novel features Georgiana Darcy and her very real, very teen problems as she returns for her junior year at a prestigious academy after a traumatic sophomore year. Georgie has a plan to fix everything and find love for her brother. If only real life was as easy as things on her favorite series. A 4 ⭐️ read. Thank you Littens.

My last fully completed book of August, finished tonight for #PemberLittens #JaneAdjacent It‘s a soft pick for me, just a bit too YA, I liked the author‘s second book, Ghosted, a Northanger Abbey retelling better than this Pride and Prejudice-based one. Georgie just seemed too young & there weren‘t enough pages to flesh out Will & Lizzie (& because it‘s P&P, I was more interested in them). Still, not a bad ⬇️
I liked the clever approach the author took to this YA, contemporary Pride and Prejudice retelling, making the focus on Darcy's sister, here in high school. I actually think it might have been better if the book hadn't insisted on putting the Lizzy/Darcy story into the mix as well; the plotting felt overdone, and there was enough going on just for Georgie. cont.

so-soAccomplished is probably not one for the Austen purists, or even for grown-ups who find adolescent angst and harebrained schemes exhausting. But teenage readers who enjoyed The Princess Diaries or Fangirl will absolutely love it. This swoony, slow-burn teen romance is convoluted, but fun.
