This Side of Married by Rachel Pastan
lighthearted
reflective
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This morning (after deciding to DNF the book I was reading π’) I went to my nearest little free library and swapped it with a short book called This Side of Married by Rachel Pastan.
Turns out "This Side Of Married" is a very strange retelling of pride and prejudice in present day with several twists. ποΈπποΈ It was okay. There was this one quote towards the end that I really liked:
"Sometimes I think he wants to take scissors and snip himself out of the fabric of life altogether."
14 year old Evie would have that quote all over her bedroom wall π
I didn't really learn anything or have too many thoughts on it, but sometimes books don't need to be groundbreaking. Sometimes all you need is a nice little story and a memorable quote β€οΈ
