Grace’s Reviews > Emma: A Modern Retelling > Status Update

became a bit dry in the middle - but this is in keeping Austen’s Emma itself. I had held off reading this book before as I it’s my least favored Austen books. Am very impressed with the author still for his fidelity to the original characters & plot, but set in the current times. It also helps me realize how very modern Austens stories actually are - unlike other classics of her time.
