Be swept away on a heartstopping, sun-soaked Australia meets LA romance
from a mother-and-daughter writing duo and a rising star of Hollywood –
a TikTok-ready reimagining of Pride and Prejudice with plenty of
crossover potential for fans of Book Lovers, Better than the Movies and
Jenny Han.
The quiet coastal community of Pippi Beach, Australia, is rocked when a
party of young Hollywood movie stars and influencers arrives for the
summer. While most of the locals, including mum Lydia are thrilled,
Lily finds the Hollywood types are superficial and arrogant –
especially Dorian Khan, the most famous of them all. Lily’s opinion is
confirmed by handsome backpacker Alex, who has quite the story about
Dorian’s past. On a holiday to Los Angeles, Lily stays with family
friend Wilson, an ambitious player who introduces her to powerful movie
producer Stacy Black. Lily is in turns amused and appalled by the
excesses of the movie business, and more than a little surprised when
Dorian Khan seeks her out. Could they actually become friends? And
what’s more, has she been what she hopes never to be ... stupid?
This modern reimagining of Pride and Prejudice is full of swoon-worthy
romance, sharp and witty humour and Hollywood glamour. Written by two
acclaimed actresses, this is an authentic and relatable YA novel, and
the perfect summer escape.
