i LIKED it because of how original of a retelling it was. It is the first story that swaps the roles and found it super interesting and fun. I also am a sucker for P&P twists and modernizations so really, I can't complain. The only things I didn't like were that the pacing was so slow and between the two POVs you end up knowing everything way before the characters do (specially all the misunderstandings and feelings) when the beauty of P&P is how unrealiable the narrator Elizabeth is and how everything was a big misunderstanding that escalated from a bad encounter. Here, you know what the other character meant, all the plot twists and the complicated and sad stories the characters had.
Graphic: Drug abuse and Sexual assault
