The Bennet Women
Title and Author: The Bennet Women by Eden Appiah-Kubi Type: Pride and Prejudice Modern Retelling Perspective: Will and Elizabeth Romance Level: References to sex but no open door scenes Recommended: yes, 3.5 Access: I got this as the free Prime book in November 2021 Summary: EJ is black engineering major who is the RA to the all female Bennett House.
