Pride and Prejudice and Mistletoe by Melissa de la Cruz & Hallmark
What if Pride & Prejudice was set at Christmas in small town Ohio? What if the main characters are gender flipped so Darcy Fitzwilliam is a proud woman instead? But what if…..she just isn't?
Melinda and Stefanie discuss inconsistent character adaptations, a mind-melting amount of drama for one family, and what is up with a tradition forcing people to kiss under mistletoe, in Pride and Prejudice and Mistletoe by Melissa De La Cruz and its companion Hallmark movie.
