I, like Darcy, am an astrology sceptic, but don't let it stop you from thoroughly enjoying this.

Of note it's not really a Pride and Prejudice retelling. Sure they get off on the wrong foot, but the beats of the story are not the same and characteristics of P&P are not included.

This is a coming of age story with romance tropes but it's not a romance. Much more literary fiction or women's fiction, read if that's your vibe.

I feel like I need to curate a list of these Hollywood romances that I just gobble up.

Thank goodness this man got sober.

If you loved Anne of Green Gables and are a romance reader now you simply must read The Blue Castle. I wish I could go read it for the first time again.

In some ways it feels like a proto- contemporary romance.
