Publisher's summary
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. She’s not holding her breath though, not even when her sister starts flirting with the hot new bachelor in town, Charlie Pierce, and he introduces Lizzy to his even hotter friend.
Will Darcy is everything Lizzy Bennet is not. Aloof, arrogant…and rich. Of course, he’s never cared about money. In fact, it’s number one on his long list of things that irk him. Number two? His friend Charlie’s insistence on setting him up with his new girlfriend’s sharp-tongued sister. Lizzy Bennet is all wrong for him, from her money-hungry family to her uncanny ability to speak to him as bluntly as he does everyone else. But then maybe that’s why he can’t stop thinking about her.
Lizzy is sure Will hates everybody. He thinks she willfully misunderstands them. Yet, just as they strike an uneasy truce, mistakes threaten Charlie and Jane’s romance, with Will and Lizzy caught in the undertow. Between a hurricane and a hypocritical aunt, a drunken voicemail and a deceptive party promoter, the two must sift through the gossip and lies to protect the happiness of everyone they love—even if it means sacrificing their own. But when the truth also forces them to see each other in an entirely new light, they must swallow their pride to learn that love is a lot like surfing: sometimes the only way to survive is to let yourself fall.

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 highlights to match, Emma not only sees a potential new friend but a new project.

I hate my boss. Like, loathe him. Two years ago, he semi-broke my heart and he still doesn’t remember who I am. Okay so I was covered in electric blue body paint, and wearing a wig, but is that a good excuse to not remember the girl you said was your destiny? Now I’m stuck working for the jerk because only he can give me the job I really want—manager of his hotel. When he needs a fake fiancé for business reasons, there’s an easy solution—blackmail. He has to give me a trial run as hotel manager in return for wearing his ring.

Ali Morris is a professional organizer whose own life is a mess. Her mom died two years ago, then her husband left, and she hasn’t worn pants with a zipper in longer than she cares to remember. No one is more surprised than Ali when the first time she takes off her wedding ring and puts on pants with hardware—overalls count, right?—she meets someone. Or rather, her dog claims a man for her, in the same way he claimed his favorite of her three children: by peeing on him. Ethan smiles at Ali like her pants are just right—like he likes what he sees.

Xander Thorne is the exact opposite. A cellist and a rock star, he’s all about big emotion, but not even his six-foot-four frame can contain his skill, his genius...and an attitude that borders on jerkitude.

The one woman I want—no, need—in my life completely erased me from her memory when we were only teens.

Just a typical day at your summer job. When recent business school grad and meticulous ten-year planner, Kat McLauren, takes an unplanned au pair position in the French Riviera to schmooze a future employer, she haphazardly upholds her reputation while rejuvenating a local tourism magazine, grappling with three unruly kids, and avoiding a romance with the host family's eldest son. But if a summer full of well-aged wine, sizzling flirtation, and a bit of betrayal can promise one thing, it’s that sometimes the best things in life are the ones we don’t plan for.

Welcome to Honey Creek, Illinois, where life was as sweet as the town's name suggested. That was until Mr. Fine Dining himself, Alex Ramírez, rolled into town with a permanent scowl. Even worse, he decided to park his snooty five-star restaurant across from my cozy dog daycare. He was tall, dark, and about as warm as a frozen entrée. After one too many unpleasant interactions, I was determined to stay out of his way and to keep him out of mine. But fate had a quirky sense of humor.

Helena Crosby is on her way to be a bridesmaid... in her mom's wedding. Of course she's thrilled for her mom—the man she's marrying is great—but this family wedding is complicated. For starters, after twenty-eight years of it just being her and her mom, navigating family dynamics isn't exactly her strong suit, especially when she has nothing in common with said family. Take her soon-to-be stepsister, for example. They might be the same age, but Amelia is an always-put-together, successful architect whose hobby is organizing her pantry while Helena favors the messy bun.

Fantastic reimagining of a powerful classic
Enjoyed this book so much. To me this was better than book 1 of this series. There were delightful surprises in the plot and very good writing. Truly loved this and wish I could read for the first time again.

Cute take on Pride and Prejudice- loved the two were into surfing.
Liked the common love of the beach and surfing. The sisters were also realistic characters along with Lizzy’s parents. Having a family owned bakery on Main Street a good setting for Lizzy and Will to meet. Very cute book! Fun beach read!

A surfing Elizabeth Bennett!
If you like Jane Austen retellings- here you go: Audrey Bellezza and Emily Harding’s For the Love of Austen Series!
I’m sure you can guess what Emma of 83rd Street is paying homage to, and the second in the series, Elizabeth of East Hampton is a Pride and Prejudice retelling, with a surfing Elizabeth Bennett! I enjoy Austen retellings, because I like to see where other writers take it- what they change, what stays the same, etc. For example, these are open door, very unlike the originals!
Emma’s book was delightful and, as we know, there’s a comfort in reading a romance novel because we are guaranteed a happily ever after. I realized there’s even more comfort in knowing details and plot points before they happen!
One of my favorite parts of Elizabeth’s book is the creative idea of mixed cover bands, like the Beatles and Metallica cover band singing “Here Comes the Sandman”. It was a very small part of the book, but so clever!
Both books are dual POV read by Teddy Hamilton and Brittany Pressley, who are often-used narrators for a reason.

Elizabeth of East Hampton
This is the best summer read, loved how the authors wrote this updated Jane Austin’s book & couldn’t put it down, so clever to bring the characters from their 1st book, Emma of 83rd Street into this storyline! Can’t wait for the next book in the series!

Clever and Familiar
I bought this audiobook as much for the narrators as I did for the subject. A modern reimagining of my favorite Jane Austen story, narrated in part by Teddy Hamilton, was too enticing to pass up. It is delicious. The characters are not exactly Austen's but how could they be in this day? The authors do a commendable job sticking to the essence of the story while putting the characters far out on Long Island with a family bakery to run and a surfer girl, Elizabeth Bennett meeting a very reserved and snobby William Darcy on his first day in town. Cleverly done and loads of fun.

I didnt like the name changes.
I thought Darcy's aunt really didn't have much of a storyline to act as she did. No sane person would speak to another non relevant person about another person's personal property about the need to sale. It was weak an no reason to add. Not worth the credit in my opinion. Not a bad story but not a good JAFF.
