Elizabeth of East Hampton by Emily Harding, Audrey Bellezza
4.0
Lizzy is an East Hampton native stuck helping her family run their bakery after her father has serious health problems. Will Darcy is a grouchy out of towner who has been talked into spending weekends in the Hamptons for the summer by his best friend. This is a cute modern take on Pride and Prejudice. I wasn't sure what to expect going in since P&P is obviously perfection but this was a really fun read that kept many of the overarching story elements while adjusting and modernizing to make things work for a present day story. The only thing that felt odd to me was the time between certain interactions or the reasoning behind certain interactions not happening for extended periods since we now live in such a digital age but that being said I really enjoyed the story for what it was. The surfing element was perfect and Lizzy and Will were the perfect idiots falling for each other, as expected.
