A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!In the Remixed Classics series, authors from marginalized backgrounds reinterpret classic works through their own cultural lens to subvert the overwhelming cishet, white, and male canon. This bittersweet Pride & Prejudice remix follows a trans boy yearning for the freedom to live openly, centering queerness in a well-known story of longing and subverting societys patriarchal and cisheteronormative expectations.London, 1812. Oliver Bennet feels trapped. Not just by the endless corsets, petticoats and skirts he''s forced to wear on a daily basis, but also by society''s expectations. The worldand the vast majority of his family and friendsthink Oliver is a girl named Elizabeth. He is therefore expected to mingle at balls wearing a pretty dress, entertain suitors regardless of his interest in them, and ultimately become someone''s wife.But Oliver can''t bear the thought of such a fate. He finds solace in the few times he can sneak out of his family''s home and explore the city rightfully dressed as a young gentleman. It''s during one such excursion when Oliver becomes acquainted with Darcy, a sulky young man who had been rude to "Elizabeth" at a recent social function. But in the comfort of being out of the public eye, Oliver comes to find that Darcy is actually a sweet, intelligent boy with a warm heart. And not to mention incredibly attractive.As Oliver is able to spend more time as his true self, often with Darcy, part of him dares begin to hope that his dream of love and life as a man could be possible. But suitors are growing bolderand even threateningand his mother is growing more desperate to see him settled into an engagement. Oliver will have to choose: Settle for safety, security, and a life of pretending to be something he''s not, or risk it all for a slim chance at freedom, love, and a life that can be truly, honestly his own.The Remixed Classics SeriesA Clash of Steel: A Treasure Island Remix by C.B.
