Without being too spoilery, Zuri is one of five girls, Ainsley and Darius’s last name is Darcy, and there are other allusions to P&P through characters’ names. However, from reading P&P’s summary, there are many connections to the classic. There’s no need to read Pride and Prejudice in order to read Pride. Thankfully, I enjoyed Ibi Zoboi’s remix for its modern day, multicultural twist on the classic tale. Unless you count reading through its Sparknotes study guide after reading Pride, Ibi Zoboi’s latest release is the closest I’ve gotten to reading P&P.
I, Haley of Fangirl Fury, am here to admit today that I have not read Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. As the summer continues, Zuri and Darius’s initial distaste for one another is turning into something neither expected. When Zuri’s sister Jane begins to fall for the charming Ainsley, Zuri is forced to befriend the arrogant and judgmental Darius. She wants absolutely nothing to do with the Darcy’s sons, Darius and Ainsley- but not if her four sisters can help it. So when the wealthy Darcy family renovates the building across the street and moves in, Zuri sees another sign that change is coming to her Bushwick neighborhood.
Brooklyn pride, family pride, and pride in her Afro-Latino roots.
