About this audiobook
"Angry people are not always wise." -Jane Austen
After a standoff in the pizza parlor, Elsie Bennet has decided Fitzwilliam "I-Throw-Fitz" Darcy is the worst customer she's ever encountered. Also the best looking, but that's beside the point. She's horrified to discover Will is not just passing through her small town, he's her new neighbor.
Will Darcy has all the money and time he could ask for, and yet life never seems to meet his expectations. When his best friend, Charlie, starts dating Jane Bennet, Will becomes their unhappy third-wheel. The solution? Bring along Jane's sister, Elsie, a girl who challenges him, makes him laugh, plagues his thoughts, and unfortunately, hates his guts.
Will might control a lot of things, but he won't control her. Elsie's already been warned away by her new friend, Jeff Wickham, who found out the hard way that Will is not someone to be crossed. Things would be so much simpler if she was attracted to Jeff. But she's not. She's attracted to Will, and the tug-o-war between her mind and her heart is going to drive her mad.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Little obvious and cheesy in the beginning, but by the middle I was willing to go along and just enjoy it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Retelling the classic Pride & Prejudice story in a modern setting, Ms. John does a good job of finding modern variations for some of the classic things that drive the conflicts in the classic novel. One twist is that we get to see into the thoughts of Darcy in this version, which makes him more sympathetic. And Bingley is less sympathetic because his modern reason for breaking things off is just sucky!
