THE REESE WITHERSPOON SUMMER YA BOOK CLUB PICK

A modern trans-Pacific twist on Pride and Prejudice, from an authentic team of debut authors who know their material, and deliver it heartwarmingly and hilariously

Inspired by Pride and Prejudice this modern tale captures the spirit and energy of Austen's original satire of manners, while updating and developing it for contemporary audiences, coming of age in the 2020s.

The quiet coastal community of Pippi Beach is rocked when a party of young Hollywood movie stars and influencers arrives for the summer. Like most of the locals, mum Lydia is thrilled but her teenage daughter Lily finds the Hollywood types are superficial and arrogant – especially Dorian Khan, the most famous of them all. Lily’s opinion is confirmed by handsome backpacker Alex, who has quite the story about Dorian’s past. On a holiday to Los Angeles, Lily stays with family friend Wilson, an ambitious player who introduces her to powerful movie producer Stacy Black. Lily is in turns amused and appalled by the excesses of the movie business, and more than a little surprised when Dorian Khan seeks her out. Could they actually become friends? And what’s more, has she been what she hopes never to be ... stupid?©2023 Angourie Rice & Kate Rice (P)2023 W. F. Howes Ltd

A really nice read by the pool and great characters!
Loved the main character and how the story has been modernised to suit today’s audience.

Pride & Prejudice Modernised

The narration was poor, it sounded like a teenager reading from an essay. Very stilted.

The novel is less of a reimagining of Pride and Prejudice than a complete lift and shift. It was uninspiring, full of stereotypes and poorly written.

Poor Jane Austen. She didn’t deserve this.
