Pride and Protest
Pride and Protest | Nikki Payne
4 posts | 4 read | 6 to read
A woman goes head-to-head with the CEO of a corporation threatening to destroy her neighborhood in this fresh and modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice by debut author Nikki Payne. Liza B—The Only DJ That Gives a Jam—wants to take her neighborhood back from the soulless property developer dropping unaffordable condos on every street corner in DC. But her planned protest at their corporate event takes a turn after she mistakes the smoldering hot CEO for the waitstaff. When they go toe-to-toe, the sparks fly—but her impossible-to-ignore family thwarts her every move. Liza wants Dorsey Fitzgerald out of her hood, but she’ll settle for getting him out of her head. At first, Dorsey writes Liza Bennett off as an over-caffeinated woke weekend warrior. As the adopted Filipino son of a wealthy white family he’s always felt a bit out of place, and knows a fraud when he sees one. But when Liza’s protest results in a viral meme, their lives are turned upside down and Dorsey comes to realize this irresistible revolutionary is the most real woman he’s ever met.

I wasn‘t sure what to expect when I started reading this Austen retelling, but it‘s so good. I enjoyed the modern spin with an interesting cast of diverse characters. Really good debut from Nikki Payne.

Bailed. If you like contemporary romance and Jane Austen, this is a fun read. I just am not a fan of contemporary romance.

Three cheers for making it through another week! How are you celebrating Friday night, Littens? For me, it's a flowery vodka drink and an adaptation of P&P that I'm fairly skeptical about. Either way, the #BooksAndBooze combo is making my night! #PemberLittens

dabbe Same here! (though the drink is vodka + Perrier + Crystal Light). Cheers! 🥃 2y

I am so picky about DC set books, and I loved this modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice that managed to both be true to the original and yet seem modern the whole time. Watching Liza and Dorsey figure it out was adorable.
