Darcy Swipes Left (OMG Classics)

Initial Thoughts:

I initially wasn't really into this and thought it was more of a novelty book than anything else, something that sounds like a fun idea but isn't really that engaging. I did get more invested as I kept reading, but I think that testifies to the fact that Pride & Prejudice itself is just such a good story that even abbreviating it like this and taking out much of what makes it wonderful -- a fleshed out story, beautiful prose, etc. -- leaves readers something to enjoy.

I did think there was an overuse of emojis. I don't know anyone who writes out their texts and just adds emojis for fun like: "I went to church [church emoji]" but I guess the author felt the need to add them to make it look more like texting.

I liked this more than I thought, but I don't think I'd read more in the OMG Classics collection. One was enough for my amusement.
