Review Detail

I'm a fan of all things Pride and Prejudice so when I saw this book at the store I immediately picked it up. Maybe I'm a little rusty in my memory of the original but this book didn't seem to follow the story of Austen's Pride and Prejudice as much as some other retellings I have read. With that said, I still enjoyed this book. The writing was fun, clever, and sometimes downright funny. The story moved along at a nice pace and I never felt like there were any slow moments.

What I liked about this version is how Callie used her insecurities of the 21st century and turned them into great strengths when she traveled back to the 1800's as Rebecca. I think Callie's insecurities are not much different than what other teenagers might feel. She figured out a way to get past them and almost use them to her advantage. She was able to fit in and still be herself.

Overall, I enjoyed this book. If you are a fan of Pride and Prejudice, or just are looking for a light, easy read check this one out.
