I enjoyed this modern updated take on Pride & Prejudice. This is not a completely faithful retelling of the classic story so there will be surprises. Don't expect this to be identical to Austen's story. Here the heroine is a scientist and professor from the slums. The hero is the son of a wealthy Senator. The two of course have a clash when they first meet, but soon find much in common. There's "Jane" and "Bingley" in the story as well, but updated to fit modern times. The problem I had with this book is there are so many times you think the story is over but it's not. The same problems come up over and over. There's a section in the book where you think the major issues have been resolved and end of story. Yet the story continues on for several chapters. Better editing would have helped this book. There's quite a bit of sexual content, but it's quite tame by modern standards.
