This read was part of a plan to tackle netgalley arcs, PRADA AND PREJUDICE was from 2014 which may explain why the story felt a little dated. This had a chick-lit feel and I had to sit with it stylistically for a while to find my stride with the writing.

I appreciated the retelling idea but I didn’t enjoy the execution or the characters. Both MCs were irritating initially and bickering was their default position. Overall, the story was unsurprising with a weak plot. It could be that I just read this book out of time, contemporary romance has moved on and this doesn’t stand my test of time.

Thanks to netgalley for their patience on this six years late review!

Prada and Prejudice was a very light, easy read. I wasn't too tempted by the title, as Pride and Prejudice themed novels seem to have been a bit overdone, but I do like Katie Oliver's books so I decided to give this one a go. As it happens, it's quite a good read, if not a little shallow and predictable in places.
