Queen B’s Decree: I freely admit: I did not finish Pride & Puppies.
I didn’t find either main characters likable, especially Charlotte, our heroine. She’s grown up idealizing romantic relationships (a la Jane Austen) yet doesn’t seem to understand why she’s had so many bad relationships. She’s decided to focus on a puppy and no dating. So of course her coworker George is immediately friend-zoned.
Frankly, the only thing that reminded me of Pride and Prejudice was characters’ names. George was unassuming and passive and was no Mr. Darcy. And Charlotte honestly annoyed me and seemed much younger than she was intended to be.
And I refuse to let my love of Pride and Prejudice be tainted, so I quit Pride & Puppies.
