i liked this book and got through it pretty quickly! i love seeing a black fmc and asian mmc get together. as a fan of pride and prejudice, i thought this was a decent retelling. i do the the dorsey is very lustful and i wish that wasn't super prevalent as the characters were getting to know one another towards the latter half of the book. also i really wish liza would've stood up to her mom at some point but she just talks the verbal assaults on her character. the rest of her family is fine but i really just like janae. one thing that bothered me was the HP references considering all that JKR has done. i think there are better references to pop culture that could've been included instead (like avatar!! that was amazing.) this book feels a little longer than necessary. i think 300ish pages is more than enough for a romance novel. i also preferred this mmc to her other novels mmc. he was much easier to understand and tolerate.
