A solid read - fast, accessible, and enjoyable. I appreciated how consistently and in-depth this book explored Oliver's identity as a trans man, as well as the inclusion of various queer characters and allies. Even in time periods were queerness was not widely understood or accepted, queer people still existed!

I did feel some elements could have been stronger, or some opportunities were missed. I was hoping for more of a bi-panic angle for Darcy being attracted to both Oliver and "Elizabeth", but that’s not explored much (and definitely just personal preference on my part). I also found the more modern voice a bit of a hindrance at times. While this style of prose made it a very accessible read and I obviously understand that Novoa is not going to replicate Austen's writing, it became a bit jarring in moments were text (usually dialogue) from P&P was included alongside the more modern writing style in here.
