Unmarriageable: A Novel por Soniah Kamal
4.5 stars! I really enjoyed this take on the classic story set in Pakistan. I’m not very knowledgeable about daily life there so I felt like I was enjoying a cultural travelogue along with the story!
4.5 stars! Charming and fun! A great retelling that is both social satire and romance as was the original and is more generous with many of the characters including Sherry-Charlotte, Annie-Anne de Bourgh, Qitty-Kittie. And made me hungry for Pakistani food!

Delightful retelling of a familiar story: Pride & Prejudice. Enjoyed the dynamics of a big bunch of sisters and did a lot of googling of Pakistani fashion terms while reading.

A very enjoyable retelling of P&P (excellent on audio). The story sticks very close to the original plot so if you're looking for new plot twists you'll be disappointed. Great to read a book set in Pakistan that's fun and light.
