About this item

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.
