"Set in Brooklyn’s rapidly gentrifying Bushwick neighborhood, Pride breathes new life into Pride And Prejudice. Zuri Benitez and her four sisters watch warily as the Darcy brothers — two handsome black teenagers, Ainsley and Darius – move into the newly and expensively renovated house down the block. Zuri and Darius initially dislike each other, wouldn’t you know it, before her pride and his prejudices get out of the way of love. This is a gorgeously written story, worth reading for so many reasons – but particularly for Zuri’s description of Darius as a “cranky bodega cat.”"
