Welcome to Litsy!

I pulled this book from our 9th grade classroom library. Predictable but fun.
Lizzie Bennet is a scholarship student at the posh Longbourn Academy,where the have-nots are horribly bullied.Jane is her true friend.As a Java Hut barista,Lizzie has the opportunity to see the Pemberly young men,Darcy,Bingley, & Wickham.Lizzie plays piano magnificently in a school concert.In a surprise twist,she meets her pianist idol,a welcome plot line.#pemberlittens

Okay, I *may* have borrowed this book from my daughter, but it was a quick and cute YA retelling of P&P. Longbourn Academy scholarship student Lizzie Bennet meets wealthy Pemberley Academy student Will Darcy. Prom is THE social event and is taken very seriously at Longbourn, though Lizzie has no interest in it or in Will, at first. I have to admit, I love the way the author ended the book!

You guessed it; from Pride and Prejudice!

This was such a fun and adorable version of the story! Loved it a lot 💖💖💖

A fun easy read that wasn't very fulfilling but held my attention for the couple hundred pages. I really don't know why I chose to read it, it's not at all my usual genre.

Book Prom! A display of fiction & nonfiction pairings for a read to remember.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I was disappointed with this one . Not enough depth to the characters and not much to the story either . Just meh. 4/10 ⭐️

Contrary to expectations this was a WAY better retelling of one of Austen's stories than Trollope's S&S.Lizzy is a scholarship student at a snotty East Coast prep school (Longbourne-natch).It's like P&P mated with Gossip Girl. Total guilty pleasure. I bought it for my 14 yr old but got to it first.
