I read this book, then I turned around a few months later and read it again. And by read, I mean I listened to Elizabeth Acevedo's excellent narration.

In case it isn't clear, I love this book! I love the way Zoboi shifts and changes language quickly and forcefully. I love the depth of her writing and the many, many, different styles represented here. I admire the way she uses Austen's plot while still granting space for characters to grow and breathe. I really appreciate that Zuri is allowed to be seventeen and make mistakes and speak her truth. She isn't placed in a narrative box.

I think this book is wonderful and I am on a constant mission to get people to listen to it! Come on, be the next one. You can do it!!

Having never read Pride and Prejudice, I did not know what to expect when I picked up this book. This novel follows a teen girl living in present-day Brooklyn, who learns a rich family is moving in across the street. She deals with university problems and boy problems, but also with the relationship between rich and poor, insiders and outsiders, and gentrification. She is an avid poet, and her poems are spread throughout the book, which provides an insight into her mind. I loved the Zuri's voice in this novel; her outlook on the world was relatable, no matter your race or upbringing. I loved the emphasis on the importance of family, as well as communication, which I feel is always overlooked. I recommend this book to everyone, especially readers who enjoy romance.

Pride was a nicely written retelling of Pride & Prejudice set in Brooklyn. It discusses many important topics that are relevant today while keeping the story light-hearted and engaging for a variety of readers. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and the author did a great job making the characters relatable and spirited. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone; it is a great read.

This Pride and Prejudice remix set in Brooklyn is expertly written by Ibi Zoboi and amazingly read by Elizabeth Acevedo, author of The Poet X. This is a fun way to relive some classics with some added relevant themes. Listen to it!

Rich and vibrant retelling of Pride and Prejudice for a teen audience.

A modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice that also changes the background of beloved characters in such a beautiful way. I love Pride and Prejudice and greatly enjoyed this version of the story. I appreciated the diverse characters and the setting - I think this makes the classic story accessible to so many more teens.

An homage to Pride & Prejudice but with its own wonderful originality and vibrant characters. Zuri is one of five teenage Haitian-Dominican Republican American sisters living in a tiny apartment in the gentrifying neighborhood of Bushwick, Brooklyn. Their parents and landlady are the heart of the community, throwing block parties, cooking for everyone, and knowing everyone in the neighborhood. When the wealthy, black Darcy family and their two handsome sons Ainsley and Darius move into the renovated mansion across the street,most of the sisters are delighted, but Zuri thinks they are snobs who are helping to gentrify and dissolve the close-knit vibrant community of the neighborhood. Plus, Darius is so arrogant and judgmental! But perhaps they may both be persuaded to change their minds.

Zoboi's writing just entrances me and this story was not going to let me down. Although I wanted a bit more from the romance side of things the commentary on class and gentrification really held my attention and made some valuable points. The main character evolves a lot and by the end you really feel like you don't want to stop listening to her ponder her place in society and what she should look for in relating to people. Aimed at older YA audiences this book is really great for adults too.

Nicely done re-telling of the Pride and Prejudice story with gentrification, teen protagonists and solid Afro-Latinx characters to update this classic. I wondered how they would tackle some of the elements of the original where now teen girls are too young to marry off, but it was very well done. An excellent read

This is a great #ownvoices retelling of a classic novel. It successfully addresses gentrification/affordable housing loss, racism, and class-ism within the familiar plot of Pride and Prejudice.
