    Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld

    Today we're covering Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld! Aside from reading Austen, this is our first ever straight-up book review! Spoiler alert for Eligible. This adaptation of Pride and Prejudice is set in 2013 Cincinnati. The eldest Bennet sisters are approaching 40 and Mr. and Mrs. Bennet are country club parents who don’t care that they’re deep in debt. Jane and Liz end up back in Cincinnati when Mr. Bennet has a heart attack. Topics discussed include our honest criticisms of the book, the success of the class commentary, the splitting of Wick/Ham, Darcy and Liz as f**k buddies, the Catherine de Bourgh-ification of Caroline Bingley, kissing your cousin, the charade of love and performance of courtship on reality TV, ace Mary, mortgages, and gender roles in the regency era vs. early 2010s. Funniest quote: Surely, if Liz had learned that anybody in her social circle in New York had eloped with somebody transgender, she'd have greeted the news with support. She might even have felt that self-congratulatory pride that heterosexual white people are known to experience due to proximate diversity. Questions: Do you agree with our criticisms? Have you read the other books in the Austen Project? How seriously did you take the book? Who wins the book?
