Description:

About this item:

"[E]normous fun, and cleverly conceived and executed... Neat and clever reworking of Pride & Prejudice for a modern age." - Jane Austen's Regency WorldDelson did a fantastic job of recreating Austen’s story in a modern setting..." - OnlineBookClub.org"A quick engaging read that kept me turning pages." - Amazon readerIn a modern reimagining of a genderbent Pride and Prejudice, Eli Bennet catches the eye of Darci Fitzwilliam, America’s “Ice Princess,” while attending Longbourn University. Darci, a member of a Kennedy-esque political dynasty, fights her feelings for this son of the university librarian, knowing that Eli is not from her world of sophistication and money. While Eli scorns the uptight, image-conscious Darci, he is thrown into her company as a result of the burgeoning romance between his brother, James, a teaching assistant at the college, and Darci’s best friend, a wealthy Indian-American, Charlize Bingley. Studying for his Master’s while dodging the attention of the ignorant, egotistical Willa Collins, and trying to keep his wild younger brother, Lyndon, in check, is a full-time job. Perhaps that’s why Eli doesn’t realize that Darci is falling for him. Of course, it’s hard to feel flattered when she makes clear that she thinks his father is a fortune-hunter and the rest of his family is white trash. When these lovers clash, they learn to look below the surface and find that the most important lessons are those of the heart.

I wasn't certain at the beginning that I would continue reading as it was so different. I'm so pleased that I continued. Different , yes, but worth the journey.

Couldn’t put it down in the middle of the night!

Z.S. · 19 August 2020

I really loved this book and highly recommend it! Once I started reading this book, it was very difficult to put down! I was up many nights in the middle of the night reading next to my snoring husband and sleeping kids down the hall lol! The author did a great job developing the characters and making them come alive to the reader. I also loved the unique modern-day twist. I was sorry that the book ended and am hoping to read a sequel or another book by this author.

P&P for teenagers

L. · 20 January 2023

The book itself is not bad, but unfortunately, it does read like a YA novel.Nothing wrong with YA, I like them just fine, it's just that when you expect grownups, you expect... grownups.Another thing that really irked me was the thinly veiled political messaging. One side in this book are the good guys, the other side is ... Mr.Collins basically. And I'm not an American, I really don't care about their politics, but even to me, the unbiased bystander, the certain messaging was just too much.And some scenes...Imagine Darci trying to decide on an outfit to leave Eli "hot and bothered" and her mom helping her select/shop for that. That is a mom, not a girlfriend with whom you discuss how hot you want a guy to be.And the ending, where everyone started congratulating them on becoming a couple as if they decided to get married. It was both unbelievable and also so cheezy; I had enough of that diary product to last me a year!

Poor Pride and Prejudice Likeness

M.W. · 2 January 2023

This story was more for teenagers to enjoy than older women. It was an easily anticipated outcome and held very little anticipation of the next move. I cannot recommend it!

Very Delightful

K.C. · 4 July 2020

A quick engaging read that kept me turning pages. The characters are charming, and likeable. The descriptions make you feel like you are right there. If you want to escape for a little while this is the book for you.

Cute plot but trite dialogue

A.l. · 24 October 2020

There was nothing wrong with the plot structure but that would be hard to mess up given it’s based on P&P. The dialogue, especially from Eli Bennet, was painfully trite. I couldn’t see the lovely Elizabeth Bennet in anything he said. There was little wit and it wasn’t funny when it was meant to be. I was largely bored reading. Too bad because I think this could have been a decent read.
