Send us a text Happy Pride Month listeners! To kick off June, we are diving into Most Ardently by Gabe Cole Novoa — a bold and beautifully queer retelling of Pride and Prejudice set in 19th-century London. Say farewell to Elizabeth Bennet, and give a warm welcome to Oliver Bennet, a trans teen navigating society, selfhood, and a seriously swoon-worthy Mr. Darcy. Also, Mr. Collins is way more villainous here but don't worry as not everything has been changed; Wickham is still a dick. Follow us...
