Queen B’s Decree: Rachel Weiss’s Group Chat is a loose retelling of Pride and Prejudice except Rachel is definitely no Elizabeth. For one thing, Elizabeth is a likable and well-written character. Rachel…is not a good person.
This was a DNF for me, I didn’t see any redeemable qualities in Rachel. The first 25% of the book, she’s trying to hook up and date another character (not MMC). And she’s so rude to MMC for no apparent reason other than he’s successful in tech—apparently she’s anti-capitalism except she also works in tech just makes less money? She does not practice what she preaches.
Reading other bad reviews I see that I quit before they make fun of sexual assault survivors with a mocking #metoo joke so I’m glad I dipped when I did.
