![]() Zuri Benitez loves her family, her block, and her writing. She loves everything about living in Bushwick, NYC. That is, until the Darcy family moves into the mini-mansion across the street. While the charming and cute Ainsley quickly strikes the fancy of Janae, Zuri's older sister, it is his brother, Darius Darcy, who makes Zuri see red. They get off to a terrible start, but a few key encounters help them see the errors in both their pride and prejudice. I read Zoboi's American Street, and loved it. I read Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and loved it. This book is a wonderful meshing of a classic tale with a very real, latinx, urban, youthful retelling. I could not put it down.
