Description
Zuri Benitez has pride. She's proud of her Brooklyn roots and her Afro-Latino heritage, but as her rapidly gentrifying neighborhood changes around her, she's not sure if that pride will be enough to save it.
When the wealthy Darcy family moves in across the street, Zuri is forced to confront her own biases and prejudices. Her initial dislike of their two teenage sons soon turns into an unexpected understanding with one of them, but with college applications looming and four wild sisters pulling her in different directions, Zuri must find her place in a changing landscape.
This vibrant reimagining of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice balances cultural identity, class, and gentrification against the heady magic of first love. With its smart, funny, and gorgeous prose, this book is a sympathetic portrayal of teenage relationships and the struggles of growing up in a rapidly changing world.
