Darcy Swipes Left

Image
Title and Author: Darcy Swipes Left by Courtney Carbone Type: Pride and Prejudice Retelling (in modern form, kinda) Perspective: Everyone Romance Level: none Recommended: no, 1 star Access: I borrowed this through the Black Gold Library system Summary: This unique Pride and Prejudice retelling uses text message, social media posts, notes on the phone, and location check-ins to tell the story. The story remains in the past but the retelling is modern, complete with emojis and acronyms.  Pros: * This is a unique take on the story. It is a creative idea and is fun. * Many reviewers found it hilarious. Cons: * The story is really choppy told this way. * There is no character development. * It was really strange mixing a modern way of communicating, but keeping the story in the past.
