About this listen

Based on the Emmy Award–winning YouTube series The Lizzie Bennet Diaries.

Twenty‑four‑year‑old grad student Lizzie Bennet is saddled with student loan debt and still living at home along with her two sisters—beautiful Jane and reckless Lydia. When she records her reflections on life for her thesis project and posts them on YouTube, she has no idea The Lizzie Bennet Diaries will soon take on a life of their own, turning the Bennet sisters into internet celebrities seemingly overnight.

When rich and handsome Bing Lee comes to town, along with his stuck‑up friend William Darcy, things really start to get interesting for the Bennets—and for Lizzie’s viewers. But not everything happens on‑screen. Lucky for us, Lizzie has a secret diary.

The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet takes readers deep inside Lizzie’s world and well beyond the confines of her camera—from the wedding where she first meets William Darcy to the local hangout of Carter’s bar, and much more. Lizzie’s private musings are filled with revealing details about the Bennet household, including her growing suspicions about her parents’ unstable financial situation, her sister’s budding relationship with Bing Lee, the perils of her unexpected fame, and her uncertainty over her future—and whom she wants to share it with.

Featuring plenty of fresh twists to delight fans and new readers alike, The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet expands on the web series phenomenon that captivated a generation and reimagines the Pride and Prejudice story like never before.

What did you like most about The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet?
The performance by Ashley Clements is simply outstanding. I also liked that they addressed some of the criticisms of the show by opening the world to beyond the webcam.

What other book might you compare The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet to, and why?
The Epic Adventures of Lydia Bennet (well if Audible UK let you buy it...)

Which character – as performed by Ashley Clements – was your favourite?
My favourite character is always going to be Lizzie but I also love her Charlotte, Darcy and Gigi a lot

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The reconciliation between Lizzie and Lydia

Any additional comments?
Probably only worth it for big fans of the original web series but it deepens the original story about as much as it can given the diary format.

Entertaining extension of the original web series

What can I say? I love The Lizzie Bennet Diaries and the spin it took on Pride and Prejudice, ultimately one of my favourite books. Knowing that Ashley did such a great job as Lizzie on the videos was good for me coming in to the audiobook as I can get a little finicky when it comes to the narration of certain stories. I am hugely impressed with the adaptation and the enhancement of particular characters, especially Lydia and Mr Bennet who seem to have a greater role in the story and a more fitting ending. Definitely an adaptation I would highly recommend.

I loved it.

I was about half the book when I realized that this is based on a YouTube series and I had to stop and watch all the episodes up to the point where I had listened in the book and it made the experience SO MUCH BETTER! I loved it.

Amazing experience

Really disappointing. A bit fan of the LBD, but this was so dull and went on forever. I find all the school jargon unnecessary too.
