The Kardashians could do this better. I quit after listening to 21%, 3 hours in. I’m an Austen fan, and immensely enjoyed the Clueless movie. I was hoping for a similarly creative reinterpretation of the classic here. Instead, I don’t care for any of the characters, nor what happens to them, which is notably problematic since I generally know what happens. Austen’s genius is creating flawed characters who the reader cares deeply about, generally because they care deeply about each other. No character here had an altruistic bone in their body. Jane’s female characters dreamed and schemed because there are so few options available to them. Sittenfeld’s characters had every option available and schemed in pettiness anyway.
