I got this book for FREE when I did a search of the top 100 the other day ... after getting a mixed assortment I started reading this one & was so hooked I read it in a day!The thing about a book like this is that it enables complete escapism into a chicklit world! The characters are not average, the situations are far fetched... BUT... I loved it! Sometimes, I don't want to read a story that's real - I want one where I laugh, muse and cheer for the characters.I thought the main characters had everything that is great about British humour - it's so dry (especially with men!) I also liked the depth to the story and underlying issues that surrounded the central characters. So much more going on than a lazy spoilt rich girl.Not sure it is like Pride & Prejudice at all though. If you liked Bridget Jones - this is the book for you. The central male character had "hints" of Darcy, but in my opinion is nothing like him. He works hard for a living, Darcy was a "gentleman". Natalie is definitely more Bridget Jones than Elizabeth Bennett! Needed a light, fluffy read to break up the tension from a couple of dark, intense thrillers... this did just the job.As a Jane Austen fan with a particular love for Pride & Prejudice, this could have gone very wrong. Nice touch having the heroine of a P&P story called Miss Dashwood...It is so loosely based on P&P that it really didn't need to be (misjudge a book by its cover etcetera) but was a good story that I haven't even remembered two days later.Now before any of my highbrow friends get huffy, it's a 4 star for its genre. I really enjoyed it for what it is. Of course, it's chicklit/beach read, but it just hit the spot.
What do You think about Prada And Prejudice (2014)?
Great book to give to friends to read on the plane, slip into vacation mood. I want MORE!
