Welcome to Litsy!

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Fun, modern day Pride and Prejudice retelling.

I was surprised to like this novel so well! I am not a fan of Austen. S&S only made me want to throw the book. I willingly took a chance on this modern P&P retelling. It was difficult to enjoy any of the characters except for Liz, but she & Darcy made up for the toxic rest. I don‘t know if the plot bore any similarities to P&P, but Sittenfeld‘s short scenes kept me reading “just a little more” until the end. An incredulous ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️for Eligible.

As a native Cincinnatian I appreciated a novel set in our city‘s early years. As a descendant of abolitionists I appreciate a story that helps me imagine what I would have done had I been there.

The book covers about 30 years, and the skips in time seem a little disjointed and uneven. But overall a solid character-driven story. June #bookspin done!

A perfectly easy summer read. I love novels and their ability to suck you in. This one did just that!

These are both books that have been low on my TBR pile, so I‘m looking forward to marking them off.

This book held my attention from start to finish! 5 stars!
