Pride and
Papercuts was one of the November Selections of the JASNA Northwoods Book Club.
Pride and
Papercuts is a modern-day reimagining of Pride and Prejudice. Laney Bennet is the only sister in the Bennet
family. She doesn’t want to be a part of
the family flower business and is instead marketing at a bookstore chain,
wasted words. When a new PR firm takes
over, she instantly dislikes the man in charge, Liam Darcy. Will the two be able to work together to
create a new campaign for Wasted Words?
I see this is part
of a series, but I read it fine as a standalone. We agreed as a book club that this was a fine
retelling of Pride and Prejudice. It
changed enough of the original story to keep it fresh. I got kind of confused by some of the side
characters that weren’t in the story that much and keeping track of them. Maybe
if I would have read the series, maybe the side characters would have meant
more to me. I did like the story of Darcy’s sister Georgie and Laney’s story
Jett. I wanted a spin off book for them!
Overall, Pride and
Papercuts is an enjoyable modern day Pride and Prejudice.
