The Trials of the Honorable F. Darcy (4.5/5)
This novel is a modern-day take on Jane Austen's book Pride and Prejudice. Overall this book is done well. As a huge Austen fan, I am sometimes wary of these adaptations but I enjoyed this one. Angelini obviously was familiar with Austen's work and not looking to stray too far from the message of it. The sex scenes did get to be a bit much after a while but they were easy enough to skim over. I would recommend this book to both Austen fans and chick lit fans.
