I laughed out loud so many times while reading this!! Granny and Bev had me DYING. I loved the spin on some of these classic characters.
There were a few moments that made me cringe (I think it was more about trying to stay too similar to specific moments within the original story and then those moments feeling a little clunky) So even though there were some things that just didn't translate well into a contemporary romance, this was still a very entertaining retelling of Pride & Prejudice. I cannot wait to read Nikki's next book!
*I did make a note during it that there was an unnecessary reference to Harry Potter while they are discussing pop culture that Dorsey isn't familiar with- there's just way too many options these days, idk why authors are still using HP as cultural references.
