Pudge and Prejudice | A K Pittman
3 posts | 5 read | 3 to read
Pudge and Prejudice is an homage to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, transported to the fictitious Northfield Texas High School in the year 1984. After moving to Northfield with her family, Elyse Nebbit faces the challenge of finding her place in a new school, one dominated by social status and Friday night football. When Elyse's effortlessly beautiful older sister Jayne starts dating Charlie Bingley, the captain of the school football team, Elyse finds herself curious about Charlie's popular and brooding best friend, Billy Fitz. Elyse's body insecurities eventually complicate her relationship with Billy, leaving Jayne and Elyse's exceedingly blunt friend, Lottie, to step in and help Elyse accept herself for who she is, pant size and all.

Pickpick

4.5 stars A.K. Pittman gave a unique spin to the beloved classic while staying true to its timeless themes. She managed to make Pudge & Prejudice relatable to this Gen-Xer who grew up over 8,000 miles away from where the book is located.

"Those two... could conquer the world leading armies of koalas on unicorns." Jumping over rainbows ?

Sugary sweetness with sprinkles on cupcakes ??

Working on one of my YA #BookSpinBingo selections during the #JoyousJanuary #readathon (all the hashtags!)

This is a modern retelling of Pride & Prejudice (which are totally my jam!) set in a Texas high school in the 1980's. Really digging it so far! ?
