One of the best P&P retellings I’ve read submitted by rshah on June 27, 2024, 9:12am A perfectly sarcastic Oliver. A maybe-but-not-really-grumpy Darcy. Two boys navigating early 1800s life. Both having to hide who they truly are. And yet, somehow, they both start to find their way as themselves. And that is why Most Ardently is one of the best P&P retellings I have ever read. Novoa captures the essence of both the characters and the social commentary found in the original book while adding a new twist to a tale as old as time.

love what it does submitted by apknapp on July 6, 2024, 10:04am Writing honestly wasn't great, but I love the author's take on the characters and how they gradually come to understand each other and come into themselves.
