Can't Wait Wednesday: Pudge and Prejudice by A.K. Pittman

Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings that spotlights and discusses the books we're excited about that we've yet to read. Generally, they're books that are yet to be released. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

This week I'm featuring Pudge and Prejudice by A.K. Pittman releasing January 12, 2021. I love a good Pride and Prejudice retelling, plus I've been hearing awesome things about this one, so I'm really excited.

About the Book
Pudge and Prejudice is an homage to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, transported to the fictitious Northfield Texas High School in the year 1984. After moving to Northfield with her family, Elyse Nebbit faces the challenge of finding her place in a new school, one dominated by social status and Friday night football. When Elyse's effortlessly beautiful older sister Jayne starts dating Charlie Bingley, the captain of the school football team, Elyse finds herself curious about Charlie's popular and brooding best friend, Billy Fitz. Elyse's body insecurities eventually complicate her relationship with Billy, leaving Jayne and Elyse's exceedingly blunt friend, Lottie, to step in and help Elyse accept herself for who she is, pant size and all. 


What upcoming release are you eagerly anticipating?

    I also love retellings, plus as a child of the 80s, I do love a good 80s story! And that cover is awesome! Great pick!
