Book description
This fresh and whip-smart modern retelling of Jane Austen's classic Pride and Prejudice-from the authors of the "great beach read" (Bookreporter) Emma of 83rd Street-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. It's a truth universally acknowledged-well, by Elizabeth Bennet anyway-that there's nothing worse than summer in the Hamptons. She should know: she's lived out there her whole life. Every June, her hometown on the edge of Long Island is inundated with rich Manhattanites who party until dawn and then disappear by September. And after twenty-five years, Lizzy wants to leave, too. But after putting her own dreams on hold to help save her family's failing bakery, she's still surfing the same beach every morning and waiting for something, anything, to change. She's not holding her breath though, not even when her sister starts flirting with the hot new bachelor in town, Charlie Pierce, and he introduces Lizzy to his even hotter friend. Will Darcy is everything Lizzy Bennet is not. Aloof, arrogant...and rich. Of course, he's never cared about money. In fact, it's number one on his long list of things that irk him. Number two? His friend Charlie's insistence on setting him up with his new girlfriend's sharp-tongued sister. Lizzy Bennet is all wrong for him, from her money-hungry family to her uncanny ability to speak to him as bluntly as he does everyone else. But then maybe that's why he can't stop thinking about her. Lizzy is sure Will hates everybody. He thinks she willfully misunderstands them. Yet, just as they strike an uneasy truce, mistakes threaten Charlie and Annabelle's romance, with Will and Lizzy caught in the undertow. Between a hurricane and a hypocritical stepmother, a drunken voicemail and a deceptive property developer, the two must sift through the gossip and lies to protect the happiness of everyone they love-even if it means sacrificing their own. But when the truth also forces them to see each other in an entirely new light, they must swallow their pride to learn that love is a lot like surfing: sometimes the only way to survive is to let yourself fall.
