Prom and Prejudice

It’s fun to see a well-known story reimagined in a contemporary high school setting. I wonder what inspired the choice to focus on prom as the central event.

The characters felt familiar yet fresh, but I’m curious whether the author aimed to preserve Austen’s wit or put her own spin on it.

The book highlights peer pressure and reputation, which felt very relevant. Did it resonate differently for anyone based on their own school experiences?
