Pride by Ibi Zoboi Ever heard of a little book called Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen? Here’s the remix that you’ve been waiting for: Pride, a retelling of Pride and Prejudice that’s set in modern-day Brooklyn. But there’s a twist: its cast stars all characters of color. Funny, warm, and vibrant, it’ll have you rooting all over again for Zuri Benitez, who instantly dislikes the new guy who’s just moved in across the street — Darius. | When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon The girl: Dimple Shah, a precocious young girl who’s going to go to Stanford next year and could care less about finding the “Perfect Indian Husband.” The boy: Rishi Patel, a boy who may or may not be the arranged husband that Dimple Shah’s parents would choose for her. You will love this sweet, wildly endearing book about opposites and the meaning of real love. | The Upside of Unrequited by Becky AlbertelliSeventeen-year-old Molly Peskin-Suso knows all about unrequited love. No matter how many times her twin sister, Cassie, tells her to woman up, Molly can’t stomach the idea of rejection. So she’s careful. Fat girls always have to be careful. There's only one problem: Molly's coworker, Reid. He's a chubby Tolkien superfan with a season pass to the Ren Faire, and there's absolutely no way Molly could fall for him. |
