Happy Wednesday!
I hope everyone’s week as been good so far and y’all continue to have a great week. Today I have another ARC review from Netgallery and it is amazing!!
“In this witty and romantic debut novel, Jane Austen’s Emma meets the misadventures of Manhattan’s modern dating scene as two lifelong friends discover that, in the search for love, you sometimes don’t have to look any further than your own backyard.
Beautiful, clever, and rich, Emma Woodhouse has lived twenty-three years in her tight-knit Upper East Side neighborhood with very little to distress or vex her…that is, until her budding matchmaking hobby results in her sister’s marriage—and subsequent move downtown. Now, with her sister gone and all her friends traveling abroad, Emma must start her final year of grad school grappling with an entirely new emotion: boredom.
So when she meets Nadine, a wide-eyed Ohio transplant with a heart of gold and drugstore blonde highlights to match, Emma not only sees a potential new friend but a new project. If only her overbearing neighbor George Knightley would get out of her way.
Handsome, smart, and successful, the only thing that frustrates Knightley more than a corked whiskey is his childhood friend, Emma. Whether it’s her shopping sprees between classes or her revolving door of ill-conceived hobbies, he is only too happy to lecture her on all the finer points of adulthood she’s so hell-bent on ignoring. But despite his gripes—and much to his own chagrin—Knightley can’t help but notice that the girl next door is a woman now…one who he suddenly can’t get out of his head.
As Emma’s best laid plans collide with everyone from hipster baristas to meddling family members to flaky playboy millionaires, these two friends slowly realize their need to always be right has been usurped by a new need entirely, and it’s not long before they discover that even the most familiar stories still have some surprises.”
I received an ARC copy for an honest review. The opinions expressed in this review are mine and mine alone.
I am one of the biggest Jane Austen fans and let me tell you this book does not disappoint! It is told from two points of view and all my favourite characters from Emma make an appearance. I loved how the authors kept to the true spirit of the Jane Austen classic and gave it a modern twist. I laughed and I cried!
This book was so amazing and if your a Jane Austen fan you won’t want to miss this book! This amazing book is set to be published on May 23, 2023!
Happy Reading!
