Out-freaking-standing!!! READ THIS BOOK!!

I'd love to share my review here, but it is an assigned book and the review will be copyrighted. However, I can not recommend this book highly enough. If you love Pride & Prejudice you will love this rendition set in modern day Pakistan. This is one of those books I just want to hold close to my heart and never let go. An absolute delight, but also insightful and educational.

5 BIG STARS!!

Elyse Walters I will!!! That’s all I need!!! I trust you on this explicitly!!!
Thank you Julie.

My FAVORITE THING... is when my close friend, Lisi, since 7th grade - on this site occasionally- and a few others I’ve gotten to know here through the years - who knows me pretty well - or is just SO CONFIDENT about recommending a book...
That....
I Favorites thing is just to get word:
“Read this book”..,
As I urgent!!!
I have ran right out and spend full price on a recommendation like that!

I don’t plan on reading any review until I read the book from here on out. I’ll enjoy reviews after my own experience.

So... I sincerely thank you for this “READ THIS BOOK” *gift*!

I do see it as a gift you’ve given many of us. Thank you ❤️🧡❤️

Thank you, Elyse!! I hope you give this one a chance!! I'd say this book was a gift to readers!! Such a well thought out, detailed, and delightful rendition of Pride & Prejudice- Pakistani style!! So refreshing, but also respectful to the classic version.

Elyse Walters I’ll definitely read it ... but am on Netgalley sabbatical- too many vacations- leaving the country -medical things - I don’t want to ‘have’ to be obligated to write a review for the rest of this year ...
So when it’s released in stores next year - I’ll get it. 🙂📚
