A fizzy, festive, and timely take on a beloved classic! In this bold, boisterous spin on Pride and Prejudice, Lizzy Bennet swears off marriage—but love (and one vaguely handsome, mildly amusing, and impossibly infuriating Mr. Darcy) has other plans. Packed with wit, chaos, and charm, this screwball take on literature’s greatest tale of latent romance is a dazzling celebration of love, freedom, and the delightful absurdity of it all.
