What They're Saying
Critics Review
“A spectacular, unputdownable debut that just rocketed its way onto my ‘Forever Faves’ shelf. The sharpest, sexiest, wittiest, brightest Pride and Prejudice retelling I’ve ever read, period. Nikki Payne is the writer I aspire to be, and I’m going to recommend this novel to everyone I know, every chance I get!“—Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author
“An entertaining and politically charged retelling of Pride and Prejudice that tackles gentrification, prejudice, and the intersections of race, class, and gender…The redevelopment plot puts a fresh twist on familiar beats and the enemies-to-lovers romance sizzles. This is good fun.”—Publishers Weekly
“Payne has managed what I thought was no longer possible: to write a Pride and Prejudice retelling that feels completely fresh and yet absolutely grounded in Jane Austen’s beloved romance…Liza and Dorsey’s romance comes with the sizzling animosity we expect from this classic enemies-to-lovers storyline while deftly tackling heavy themes like generational trauma and classism with humor and heart. This debut is incandescent.“—The Washington Post
“This new imagining of Pride and Prejudice is an inventive take on a classic love story.“—BuzzFeed Books
