After
being dragged to the 2005 movie Pride and Prejudice by her mother,
sixteen-year-old Elizabeth’s life changes when Matthew Macfadyen’s Mr. Darcy
appears on the screen. Lizzie falls hard and makes a promise to herself that
she will settle for nothing less than her own Mr. Darcy. This ill-advised
pledge threatens to ruin any chance of finding true love. During the six
intervening years, she has refused to give any interested suitors a chance.
They weren’t Mr. Darcy enough.
Coerced
by her roommate, Elizabeth agrees to give the next interested guy ten dates
before she dumps him. That guy is Chad, a kind and thoughtful science teacher
and swim coach. While she’s dating Chad, her dream comes true in the form of a
wealthy bookstore owner named Matt Dawson, who looks and acts like her Mr.
Darcy. Of course she has to follow her dream. But as Elizabeth simultaneously
dates a regular guy and the dazzling Mr. Dawson, she’s forced to re-evaluate
what it was she loved about Mr. Darcy in the first place.
Review:
This
book was so cute and sweet. I absolutely loved it to pieces. I knew I would,
being a fan of Pride and Prejudice; loving and knowing the book/movie made it
even better. I felt like I connected with the characters really easily. The
romance was fantastic, and I found myself wanting more when I was finished
reading. I’ve promoted books by Karey but have never read any of them. I’m
definitely a fan now and will be picking up her other books soon! I’d highly recommend
My Own Mr. Darcy to teen/adult readers, and even mature middle grade readers.

Yay! I'm so glad you were able to read this one and I hope when you read my others, you enjoy them just as much. Thank you so much for taking the time to read My Own Mr. Darcy and write a review. I'm very grateful.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really pretty cover! I love the lighting of it. :) I haven't read many classics so I'm not sure if this is something I'd like to read or not. Also, it looks like we're both kind of getting back into blogging again. :) I know you are probably busy with college, but I thought I'd tag you in a book tag in case it was something fun that you'd like to do as well. :) http://hollysreadinghollow.blogspot.com/2013/09/book-tag-seven-random-book-facts.html
