There are so many reasons we’re eager to get this Jane Austen update into our hands. But mainly because it’s the same author who wrote Prep, which we couldn’t put down, and it brings us a modern day Mr. Darcy and Liz Bennet. Liz is now a writer in her late 30s living in New York City. When her father falls ill and she is forced to go back home to Ohio, she has to deal with her eccentric sisters, a mother determined to marry her off and the frustrating Fitzwilliam Darcy who appears to be lacking in manners and charm—but whom she can’t seem to stay away from.

Her first year in New York and all its requisite experiences—love, heartbreak, friendship and lust—make this a riveting, coming-of-age novel to remember.
