Austen wit meets reality TV romance chaos

If you love sharp, character-driven retellings, this feels delightfully familiar and freshly messy at once. Curtis Sittenfeld keeps the social comedy of Pride and Prejudice but drops it into modern family dysfunction, dating culture, and Midwest suburban life with real charm. Readers often enjoy how Liz and Darcy still spark in all the right ways, while the updated Bennet family feels funny, painfully recognizable, and wonderfully human.

Description

This version of the Bennet family and Mr. Darcy is one that you have and haven't met before: Liz is a magazine writer in her late thirties who, like her yoga instructor older sister Jane, lives in New York City. When their father has a health scare, they return to their childhood home in Cincinnati to help and discover that the sprawling Tudor they grew up in is crumbling and the family is in disarray. Youngest sisters Kitty and Lydia are too busy with their CrossFit workouts and Paleo diets to get jobs. Mary, the middle sister, is earning her third online master's degree and barely leaves her room, except for those mysterious Tuesday-night outings she won't discuss. And Mrs. Bennet has one thing on her mind: how to marry off her daughters, especially as Jane's fortieth birthday fast approaches. Enter Chip Bingley, a handsome new-in-town doctor who recently appeared on the juggernaut reality TV dating show Eligible. At a Fourth of July barbecue, Chip takes an immediate interest in Jane, but Chip's friend, neurosurgeon Fitzwilliam Darcy, reveals himself to Liz to be much less charming. ... And yet, first impressions can be deceiving.
