By day, Nichole Carelock, is a curious anthropologist, asking the right questions to deliver better government. By night, she's Nikki Payne, dreaming of ways to subvert canon literature. She works at Facebook as a qualitative researcher and has a PhD in cultural anthropology.
A spectacular, unputdownable debut that just rocketed its way onto my 'Forever Faves' shelf. The sharpest, sexiest, wittiest, brightest Pride and Prejudice retelling I've ever read, period. Nikki Payne is the writer I aspire to be, and I'm going to recommend this novel to everyone I know, every chance I get! -Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of Love on the Brain An entertaining and politically charged retelling of Pride and Prejudice that tackles gentrification, prejudice, and the intersections of race, class, and gender...The redevelopment plot puts a fresh twist on familiar beats and the enemies-to-lovers romance sizzles. This is good fun. -Publishers Weekly
