Is there anything hotter for a modern-day Darcy and Bingley than business partners in a clean energy consulting firm?

I loved reading Emma on 83rd Street and was so excited for the second book of the Jane Austen retelling with Elizabeth of East Hampton. This modern take on an old classic was perfection - a chaotic family, enemies to lovers, some scandal, quirky characters and some spice. I really enjoyed Emma and George’s cameos, the sweet love story between Jane and Charlie, and Lizzie and Will’s slow burn romance, especially when a storm brings them together and the slow burn turns into a FIRE. A perfect read for summer!

Thank you to NetGalley and Gallery Books for this ARC!

This series is proof that Austen is timeless! I have no idea how the authors managed to honor P&P with one of the better adaptations that I've read while also making a story I've read MANY times feel fresh and modern. I hate spoilers in a review, so I'll just say my favorite updates were:
- Mary's storyline
- The Lydia/Wickham equivalent
- Lizzy. Just Lizzy.

Strongly recommend for an addictive end of summer read!

Elizabeth of East Hampton was a great retelling of Pride and Prejudice. I read Emma of 83rd Street and loved it. This book is right up there.

I really enjoyed the way the authors modernized the tale. I was wondering how things would be changed and loved it all. Lizzy and Will were the perfect take on Dary and Elizabeth. You could see all the things that are loved about Pride and Prejudice movies as well (hello, hand flex!) in the book. Lizzy's sisters and parents are a whole book in themselves. There are some tongue-in-cheek references to the original and how this book is different. Lydia has a great line towards the end that made me giggle.

I would recommend this 100% if you enjoy Jane Austen. I cannot wait to see what they do next.

Thank you to NetGalley, Gallery Books, and the authors for the e-ARC of this book. This review is my own opinion.

Never a bad time with a Pride and Prejudice retelling

Listened on audio, fun and easy

Lizzy Bennett as a surfing baker in the Hamptons? Darcy is also a sufer?
SIGN ME ALL THE WAY UP! It's so much fun. I love it.
