Zuri Benitez has pride. Brooklyn pride, family pride, and pride in her Afro-Latino roots. But pride might not be enough to save her rapidly gentrifying neighborhood from becoming unrecognizable. When the wealthy Darcy family moves in across the street, Zuri wants nothing to do with their two teenage sons, even as her older sister, Janae, starts to fall for the charming Ainsley. She especially can't stand the judgmental and arrogant Darius. Yet as Zuri and Darius are forced to find common ground, their initial dislike shifts into an unexpected understanding. But with four wild sisters pulling her in different directions, cute boy Warren vying for her attention, and college applications hovering on the horizon, Zuri fights to find her place in Bushwick's changing landscape, or lose it all. In a timely update of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, critically acclaimed author Ibi Zoboi skillfully balances cultural identity, class, and gentrification against the heady magic of first love in her vibrant reimagining of this beloved classic.… (plus d'informations)

i feel like i wasn’t able to buy into darius and zuri being together even tho once they are it’s kinda cute. there’s also unresolved stuff like their fight at carrie’s party that just disappears and im like ?? wasn’t that kind of important that he acts like a whole different person around his white friends?? idk there were points i found zuri mildly annoying but overall it kept me entertained enough.

This is a modern-day, Brooklyn-based, Afrolatinx YA retelling of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice. I really liked this book. I loved picking up on all the twists on the original story (Benitez = Bennet, Charlize = Charlotte, Colin = Mr. Collins). It's actually a pretty close retelling, despite the modern Brooklyn setting. Zuri, who is Dominican and Haitian American, has such a strong, confident voice. She has dreams and goals and writes slam poetry. It was soul-affirming to have a(n Afro)latine protagonist and family star in this book; they all loved each other and were there for each other no matter what. I also loved the Madrina character, who as far as I can tell takes the role of the Bennets' aunt character. She's a warm and loving Boricua Santeria priestess who counsels Zuri on her problems. I didn't think Darius had the same character arc as Mr. Darcy, as his and Zuri's interactions weren't the same as Mr. Darcy's and Lizzie's. He just chilled out some and fixed his face. The first person present tense this book is written in will also put some readers off, but it does keep us firmly in Zuri's viewpoint as she is the narrator. Anyway, I really liked this book and you should read it.

Love love love this book!!

I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator was perfection. Brought the emotion to life throughout the story.

Pride and Prejudice has always been a comfort read/watch for me. This spin on it was fantastic. Took all the themes I loved about the original and gave them a modern spin. The added poetry was one of my favorite parts. While a few scenes brought tears to my eyes, many made me laugh out loud.

I also love the commentary on gentrification, hit home as we watch it happen all over Austin. Zuri's growth throughout the book was raw/honest, and I couldn't help but be sucked into the emotional rollercoaster she was on.

You'll love this book if you love enemies to lovers, retellings and social commentary in your fiction.

I liked this take on Pride and Prejudice. I think you can really see the prejudices more in this version then the original. It was a great read. I think students will like to read this after reading the original. ( )

Zuri lives in Bushwisk with her four sisters, Mama, and Papi, and is perfectly happy in her hood, thank you very much. Her older sister Janae is back from college for the summer, and then the Darcy family moves in across the street, with boys Ainsley and Darius who are fine but not like the Benitez family. Sure, the family's black, but they're well-to-do and don't know how to act in the hood. Despite Zuri's misgivings, though, Janae and Ainsley start going out.

Sometimes I enjoyed the ways in which Pride and Prejudice was "remixed" by setting it in Brooklyn and addressing gentrification and neighborhood pride, but other times I thought it hewed so closely to the original material that I would have liked to see how these characters developed apart from a retelling. Zuri is a great character with even more attitude than the original Elizabeth, and she's a poet who dreams of going to Howard. The audiobook, read by author-poet Elizabeth Acevedo, makes for a fun way to experience Zuri's words, both prose and poem. ( )

It's a truth universally acknowledged that when rich people move into the hood, where it’s a little bit broken and a little bit forgotten, the first thing they want to do is clean it up.
