Pride

a Pride and Prejudice Remix

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.
