King captures the magical feeling of seeing New York City awash in lights, and the electric hum of a rapt crowd during a live performance. Fans of the source material will have an immeasurable amount of fun identifying all the Easter eggs within, from recognizable characters to dialogue that harkens back to the original text. a slow burn that keeps its momentum, even amid all the fun of King’s detailed, luxe descriptions of buzzing nightlife, sexy show performances and extravagant costumes.

The Jane Austen inspiration is clear, but debut novelist Vanessa King excels at infusing her own fresh voice and sparkling ideas into this contemporary romance. a rompy and raunchy retelling of Pride & Prejudice-with a burlesque twist.
