Pride, Prejudice & Other Flavors by SOnali Dev

I am complete sucker for Pride & Prejudice, or anything written by Jane Austen. So, to read a desi retelling of P&P with gender swapped & beautiful characters was an interesting experience.

Meet the Raje family descendants of a royal family from India who have made San Francisco their home base. The protagonist is ‘Dr Trisha Raje’, an accomplished neurosurgeon who is our female ‘Mr. Darcy’ trying to save people, one brain at a time. Then there’s ‘DJ Caine aka male Lizzy Bennet’ a sexy chef employed by Trisha’s family.

Sparks fly when they meet & drama ensures (like in the original P&P). You know what’s going to happen because it’s an obvious retelling of the old classic, but you will still be interested in the crazy characters, mega rich family, a total rom com hero & a meet cute gone wrong!

It’s perfect for a light read on the beach or a trip and there are 2 more in the series based on Dr Trisha’s other overachieving siblings.
