All That Pride
Lizzie Gardner is ready to ace every class her senior year, ready to perfectly balance school, her friends, and her family.
But school has barely begun when her stepbrother Jake starts a secret relationship with popular jock, Charles Lark. Suddenly, Lizzie has to coexist with Charles’ best friend, Darcy, whom Lizzie hates. Then, Lizzie’s biological father resurfaces and claims an interest in reconnecting with his children.
As the strain of Jake’s secret, family drama, and surprising feelings for Darcy become stronger, Lizzie struggles to tread water. How can she keep her options open when everyone—Jake, her parents, Darcy—wants immediate answers to their questions?

It doesn't take a lot to sell me on a Pride and Prejudice adaptation. This was a fun one with some interesting changes to suit the modern, teenage characters. I enjoyed most of this book, and Lizzie's problems with Darcy do settle well in the modern context but it felt a bit weighed down by the length of the book since some parts tend to be Lizzie's internal monologue going round and round in the same circles. That said, a fun read and definitely a very cute version of Lizzie and Darcy to add to the adaptations list.
