Welcome to Litsy!

This Pride & Prejudice remix was absolutely delightful. Oliver Bennet is assigned female at birth, and most of his family knows him as Elizabeth. But Oliver yearns to live as his true self - a man. ,It was a lovely twist on a familiar story. Mr. Bennet is just perfection in this retelling.

This book bewitched me heart & soul. It felt like the it felt like the queer Pride & Prejudice fanfic I didn't realize I had been dreaming of since high school. It‘s a short, easy read, with nuanced characters, emotions that ring true, and the plot has plenty of depth and tension. You‘ll be rooting for Oliver and Mr. Bennet is as fantastic in this situation as in any other retelling, you'll want him to be your dad too! Longer review on StoryGraph.

This was a quick read. I enjoyed this book a little too much — and I could guessed that Wickem would be an enemy.

This is becoming one of the most intriguing books I ever read even though I know the story of pride and prejudice… and so far I‘m loving it.

In this Pride and Prejudice retelling, the second eldest Bennett is a trans boy who's not yet out. It's less enemies to lovers since Oliver is immediately taken with Darcy when he's dressed as himself, but Darcy's rudeness to him when he wears dresses complicates their relationship. Especially since Oliver doesn't want him to realize the two people are the same. The writing and dialogue are a bit modern, but I enjoyed it all the same.

Airplane reading is always among my most productive, and I haven't been a particularly productive reader here lately 😅
