It feels like I have read every Pride and Prejudice retelling that exists. So it is my expert opinion when I say this is one of the best. Take P&P and make it queer and about publishing in NYC. Make sisters into a group of queer roommates. Make Mr. Darcy a hot butch lesbian. It's fun, it's steamy, it's romantic—and you need to read it.
