Recs if you like If I Loved You Less...

Books that adapt, retell, and pull inspiration from Jane Austen's works.

Why do we rewatch the 1995 and 2005 adaptations of Pride and Prejudice over and over again? Because it's a timeless story of love! So iconic are Austen's six novels that you can plop the characters and plot shapes in different times, countries, and planets, and you'll still feel the original at its core. This list is book adaptations (published fanfiction) of all six of Austen's novels. The character names don't have to match exactly, but we should know which book it's riffing off from.

Lets give our brothers and sisters who write fiction the platform they deserve ☀️
