I thought Sittenfeld’s An American Wife was completely amazing and have pushed it upon numerous friends. It should go without saying to those who know me that Pride & Prejudice is one of my favorite books. What a disappointment Eligible was. It was neither a reboot with modern flair or a unique take on Austen’s masterpiece, but mostly a limp, chic-lit P&P Lite. Sittenfeld’s worst transgression, in my opinion, was trading Darcy and Elizabeth’s verbal sparring for “hate sex.” HATE SEX. I mean, really? Ugh.
