Most Ardently: A Pride & Prejudice Remix

"Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is my all-time favorite novel. I reread it constantly and have seen the 2005 movie so often I can recite nearly the entire script from memory. As an Austen connoisseur and a lover of young adult fiction, I was already predisposed toward this queer remix. Oliver Bennet keeps his trans identity secret – it is England in 1812, after all – but with the arrival of Darcy and the Bingley clan, he yearns to share his truth with the man he unexpectedly falls for. Gabe Cole Novoa hits all the highlights of Austen’s classic novel while adapting it to include queerness and reframing it for a teen audience."
