I do recommend this for both fans of Pride and Prejudice and fans of M/M contemporary romance. In any case, it's a good contemporary retelling with M/M romance. It would have been even better reading experience, if I'd been able to stop comparing and looking for links to the source material. Out, Proud, and Prejudiced was engaging read and especially captivating at the end. It was a really slow burn, but it was to be expected and I truly enjoyed their interactions. It was really good that Bennet and Darius had a lot of interaction - there's a trip to Brighton, climbing, and surprise visits to Pembroke. Both are proud men with prejudices, and I found it especially delightful read to see how they found they both enjoyed climbing and such. Of course, Bennet and Darius get the limelight with their initial mutual dislike and slow progress of learning to stand each other. Jamie's one of my favourites because he's kind and adorable, and I loved his relationship with Tim. I enjoyed the dynamics between characters. The relationship dynamics have changed from the original tale Bennet and Jamie are best friends and flat mates instead of siblings and so on. However, Reddaway made the story work well in modern setting, where Bennet and his friends studied hospitality in a college and Darius was a hotshot city lawyer. It took me a little while to warm up for the characters and situation mostly because of the modern setting, as I've always felt that a lot of the charm for Pride and Prejudice is the time period. I only have to say that the blurb is misleading as there isn't a dual point of view, because the only perspective is Bennet's and Darius's inner thoughts are not on page.ĭespite expecting that there wouldn't be big surprises plot or character wise, there were some elements of suspense and I enjoyed the story. I went in knowing this and not expecting to be surprised, and I enjoyed the story a lot. There are some differences to the original tale, but there isn't any radical changes. Out, Proud, and Prejudiced is a modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice, where the main characters are gay.
