I read the author's Emma retelling first, so I knew that LaZebnik loves Jane Austen. I've read a lot of P&P fanfic, and this was pretty middle of the road for me. She captured many of the beats of the novel, and I did find the Wickham scandal well-interpreted for the ritzy high school setting. But...one of the best things about Pride and Prejudice is how Lizzy and Darcy become better people because of the criticisms of the other. In this version, misunderstandings are gotten over, she realizes she was a bit too judgmental of him, he loosens up, but I don't see huge growth. It wasn't bad, but it was on the light, teenybopper side of the modern Austen spectrum. Two and a half stars.
