Me and Mr. Darcy

I just finished reading Me and Mr. Darcy: A Novel by Alexandra Potter. This book was unexpectedly charming, a great and easy read. This is a retelling of Pride and Prejudice and a chick lit novel. The books is very close to the original and is full of quotations from Pride and Prejudice.

If you’ve ever dreamed of what it would be like to meet Mr. Darcy, this book is for you. Emily Albright, a 29 year old single woman has been on a series of bad dates. So many, in fact, that she has sworn off men. But when she signs up for a trip to England for a Jane Austen retreat, she finds love in the most unexpected ways.

The Jane Austen Society of North America (JASNA) sponsors tours of England that include visits to Jane Austen's residences, private homes she knew, and places she visited. Itinerary and registration information will be mailed to JASNA members prior to being posted on the web site, and tour participants must be JASNA members. For more information, visit The Jane Austen Society of North America.

Favorite quotes from the novel:

“The reality is always more disappointing than the fantasy.”
“Stick by your principles, go after what you want, and don’t be afraid to admit when you are wrong.”
"Overpaid, oversexed, and over here"
