In this modern retelling of the Jane Austen classic Liz Bennet hate fucks Mr. Darcy. Just so you know we're in the modern era Sittenfeld also inserts artificial insemination, reality TV, tech startups, individuals that are transgender, asexual and Crossfitters not to mention a Cosmopolitan ripoff and throws in Cincinnati of all places. This is really Liz's stories and the rest of the Bennet sisters are only briefly sketched out and the Bennet matriarch isn't just obsessed with a proper match for her daughters she's also a bit of a hoarder, racist and mortgaged to the hilt.

Sittenfeld is a smart writer that at times can edge a little close to too clever but otherwise a nice, quick diversion of a read.
