Pudge and PrejudiceThe review below is being done on a Netgalley Advanced Reader's Copy of Pudge and Prejudice. This review is my own, and I have written it in my honest opinion. Elyse Nebbit just moved with her family to Northenfield, Texas. She and her older sister Jayne are trying to navigate being new to a very close-knit town while still trying to watch over their younger sisters: Mary, Lydia, and Kitty. Within the first day, the sisters meet handsome Charlie Bingly and mysterious Billy Fitz. A love connection between Jayne and Charlie begins, and Elyse finds herself having a little bit of boy trouble as well when someone from Billy's past comes to town again. I am a HUGE Pride and Prejudice fan, so when I read the title I knew that the premise of the book was going to involve similar plot lines, but I was very blown away with how beautifully this book was written. I did have my fears that this book would not hold up to the original, but those fears were soon thrown out once I saw how uniquely the story was told. Although they do have the same story lines, A.K. Pittman made this book stand up on its own. While I was reading this, I could totally imagine John Hughes directing this as a movie. The setting takes place in the 80s, so there were a lot of references included to help paint the scene- music, movies, and fashion thrown into the mix. Ultimately, if you haven't already read Pride and Prejudice and enjoy YA novels, this is a good fit for you. If you have read Pride and Prejudice trust that this adaptation will not disappoint you.
