"A modern retelling of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice that transports you to summer in the Hamptons, where classes clash, rumors run wild, and love has a frustrating habit of popping up where you least expect it"--

Elizabeth of East Hampton

4.5 rounded up 

The authors made this story their own, but also kept with what makes the story a classic. The characters and the setting really came together to give us a wonderful retelling of Pride and Prejudice. Even though we know how this story should end, I enjoyed seeing what was next for the characters and how the authors were going to bring it together. 

This is going to be a reread for me, I can tell. I loved how it was done. 

This is the second book in the For the Love of Austen series. While characters from Emma of 83rd Street appear in this book, it does not need to be read first. 

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Elizabeth Bennet has lived in the Hamptons her whole life and she can't wait to start a new life further afield. But after putting her own dreams on hold to help her family, she's still here, surfing the same beach every morning and waiting for something to change. She's not holding her breath though ... not even when her sister Jane starts flirting with Charlie Pierce, the hot new bachelor in town, who introduces Lizzy to his even hotter friend.

Will Darcy is everything Lizzy Bennet is not. Aloof, arrogant … and rich. Of course, money has never mattered to him. And everyone is annoying him – especially Charlie, who insists on setting him up with Lizzy Bennet. She is clearly all wrong for him … but why can’t he stop thinking about her?

Lizzy is sure Will hates everyone. He thinks she wilfully misunderstands them. But just as they strike an uneasy truce, mistakes and misconceptions threaten the peace. Between a hurricane, a drunken voicemail and a deceptive real estate agent, the two must sift through the gossip and lies to protect the happiness of the people they love – even if it means sacrificing their own.
