I did not realize this book was part of a series. However, I feel it can be read as a standalone.  As a huge fan of Pride and Prejudice, I was thrilled to dive into this modern adaptation of the classic. While it stays true to the original in many ways, there are clever changes to make it relatable for a younger modern audience.

One twist I particularly enjoyed was how Darcy “bailed” her sister out of trouble—hint: it’s not a runaway wedding this time! The enemies-to-lovers dynamic between Darcy and Elizabeth was masterfully done, with just the right amount of spice I didn’t know I needed.
