3.5 stars. This was a fine light romance. Like just about everyone I've read Pride & Prejudice but I'm not one of the obsessive Austen fans and I think that probably served me well here. I'm also more of a fan of reality TV than most and that too helped as part of the storyline revolves around a reality TV show.
I wanted to like this book, especially because I enjoyed other books by this author. For me the characters were a bit too crude and not particularly likeable. Still the book did hold my interest enough for me to finish. I was just a bit disappointed; maybe I set my expectations too high... ( )
I liked the book well enough, but found the narration of the audio book to be distracting. It was like listening to Jenna from 30 Rock read out loud. Odd. Anyway, the retelling was done well, and was entertaining. ( )

"Everything tends toward entropy, my dear. It's the second law of thermodynamics."
"Do you ever pass up a chance to use a big word?" Lydia replied. "Or do you find that circumlocution always magnifies life's conviviality?"
"Stop quarreling, girls," Mrs. Bennet said. "It's unbecoming." ¶ "They'd never speak to one another otherwise," Mr. Bennet said.
Mr. Bennet stood, dropping his napkin on the table. "As interesting as I find this conversation, an urgent matter has come up. I need a hamburger." ¶ Simultaneously, Liz said, "Dad, you can't drive," and Jane said, "Dad, you can't eat red meat." ¶ Mr. Bennet gestured toward his plate, atop which sat moderate portions of lentil stew prepared by Jane and salad prepared by Liz. "This is unacceptable," he said. "I'm not a small woodland creature. Lizzy, we're going to Zip's."
"If your mother and I lived somewhere smaller, we might have to actually see each other."
DURING HER EVENING run, which had replaced her morning run, Liz turned from Grandin Road onto Madison Road—which was to say not before she'd begun speculating about whether she'd see Darcy but before she'd reasonably expected that she would—there he was: tall and composed and minimally sweaty, presumably thinking supercilious thoughts but looking so unjustly handsome as he did that all her internal organs lurched a little.
"It's remarkable, isn't it," Mr. Bennet said, "that for decades at a time, I've stayed alive without your daily instructions?"
She wasn't wrong, which wasn't the same as the idea being a wise one.
