"The truth was, he was right about many things—things she could change, like how she treated people. He was also wrong about a few—things she could not change, like who she was" - Sonali Dev 📚
You guys ready for me to ramble about a book I'm loving? Brace yourself, its monologue time 🎤
I'm a huge Pride and Prejudice fan so I usually jump into any retellings I can find. I have been disappointed in the past but this book is the retelling I was waiting for. What made me excited about this one was the diverse cast and the gender swap with the female lead having the personality of Mr. Darcy. What a unique twist! 😍

In Pride, Prejudice and Other Flavors we are introduced to an immigrant Indian family descending from royalty, who have settled in America. We meet Trisha, an arrogant neurosurgeon and DJ, a judgmental chef. Its rare to meet a female lead who embodies the personality of Mr. Darcy and the author did such a great job in portraying it. We even meet a female villian named Julia Wickham!! I love how the author manages to bring in aspects of the original story while giving us something completely new and refreshing. It would be wrong to classify this just as a retelling. It is so much more! It has comedy, drama, a love story and a lot of heart. Full review to come soon but all the stars for this wonderful book.
