When I first saw the title of this book, I laughed at it. Why didn't they come up with a better title? Surely this is just a weird marketing gimmick, and there's more to this book than just putting Pride and Prejudice in Space.
Dear reader, there is nothing more to this book than putting Pride and Prejudice in space.

I reread Pride and Prejudice immediately before reading this book, thinking that it would make it more fun to be able to catch the little references and parallels that this book would have. This novel doesn't have parallels, it has whole conversations and scenes lifted from the original barely changed. Sure, some of the slang has been made "spacey," but nothing of substance has been altered. This is Pride and Prejudice wearing a filter, and not a good one.

Some of the letters and conversations have been updated to make them space-emails (or journals) with new dialogue. Those were my favorite parts of the book, because they were in the author's own voice and provided new takes on the characters and situations. Unfortunately, the fact that they were in the author's voice instead of the stilted Pride and Prejudice voice of the rest of the novel only made it more apparent that the rest of the book was so soulless and lacking in any actual reimagining.

Thanks to Netgalley and Union Square & Co for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
