This term is tossed about as if Lizzie’s middle class family raised her in a hippie commune on the outskirts of society instead of in regular old, nice, normal Hoboken, New Jersey. Lizzie isn’t particularly popular as she’s one of the few scholarship kids (you have to say it like it’s a disease. The Story: Lizzie attends the fancypants, uber-snooty Longburn Academy (Longburn! Isn’t that cute? I gave virtual high fives to Eulberg for the many times she found creative ways to pay homage to P&P deets). I’m getting excited just thinking about it! Consider the fact that we have two majorly awesome things here: Jane Austen-y stuff and Prom coming together. I mean really? Do you think there is any possible way I could NOT have loved this book? And I mean luuuuurved it(a la Bridget Jones in a drunken stupor), clapped, said “yea!” and randomly blew kisses at it as if it could somehow reciprocate my affections. Will Lizzie’s pride and Will’s prejudice keep them apart? Or are they a prom couple in the making? (Goodreads) Clearly, Will Darcy is a pompous jerk - so why does Lizzie find herself drawn to him anyway? Darcy doesn’t seem to like Lizzie either, but she assumes it’s because her family doesn’t have money.
Lizzie is happy about her friend’s burgeoning romance but less than impressed by Charles’s friend, Will Darcy, who’s snobby and pretentious. Lizzie Bennet, who attends Longbourn on a scholarship, isn’t interested in designer dresses and expensive shoes, but her best friend, Jane, might be - especially now that Charles Bingley is back from a semester in London. After winter break, the girls at the very prestigious Longbourn Academy become obsessed with the prom.
