*Pudge and Prejudice* is an homage to Jane Austen's *Pride and Prejudice,* transported to the fictitious Northfield Texas High School in the year 1984. After moving to Northfield with her family, Elyse Nebbit faces the challenge of finding her place in a new school, one dominated by social status and Friday night football. When Elyse's effortlessly beautiful older sister Jayne starts dating Charlie Bingley, the captain of the school football team, Elyse finds herself curious about Charlie's popular and brooding best friend, Billy Fitz. Elyse's body insecurities eventually complicate her relationship with Billy, leaving Jayne and Elyse's exceedingly blunt friend, Lottie, to step in and help Elyse accept herself for who she is, pant size and all.

80s retelling of Pride and Prejudice
If you were a teen in the 80s, and like Pride and Prejudice, this book is for you. It was such a clever retelling which had me captivated till the end to see how each scene I knew so well from the original would play out in this contemporary version. Given I was only a toddler in the 80s, a lot of the (many) teen/80s culture references probably went over my head but I still appreciated the mentions (especially those I did know). My one downer was that it felt very teen-agey at times in the storytelling, although I think that was done purposely to fit the book. Still, a really clever retelling and one I enjoyed.
