Without Pride and Prejudice - By Jennifer Peel

What happens when a die-hard Pride and Prejudice fan finds herself in a very Darcy-and-Elizabeth-esque romance? That’s exactly what Jennifer Peel explores in Without Pride and Prejudice, a charming contemporary love story that manages to honor Austen’s classic without simply rehashing it.

This week, Emilie could not contain her excitement—she’s been a longtime fan of Jennifer Peel’s rom-coms, so seeing her take on P&P was a dream come true! And the best part? The book actually respects Monroe’s Austen obsession, rather than making her conveniently forget the original plot so she can relive it herself. (Finally!)

Alicia, meanwhile, found it sweet, fun, and bingeable in one sitting—high praise indeed! So, does this book strike the perfect balance between Austen love and originality? Let’s discuss.
