In a world with so many Pride & Prejudice adaptations, a new one has to be truly special to stand out, and this one is... A warm, sweet story with all the witticisms Austen fans savor. -- Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews
When perspiration meets privilege, love might just school them both.
She's working two jobs to get through college. He's the golden boy who doesn't know the meaning of struggle.
One fateful night at the family's restaurant, Lissie Cheng accidentally serves a dish containing shellfish to an allergic customer, running afoul of the wealthy Lin family and wonder boy Preston in particular. Preston Lin, star swimmer and Stanford Ph.D. student, who is as handsome as he is self-righteous. When his response to the incident threatens the family livelihood, Lissie must scramble to outwit him. If only he didn't keep popping up in her life, so she could despise him in peace!
Preston's life hasn't always been picture-perfect. Before Lissie came on the scene, he worked hard not only at school and at swimming, but also at burying a few things he'd rather forget. But that girl-! The past isn't the only thing she's stirring up.
In this sparkling contemporary riff on Austen's classic Pride and Prejudice, the beloved story gets a fresh spin. Who will prevail over Lissie's heart? Her pride or Preston Lin?
Compulsively readable. -- Publishers Weekly
Like Crazy (not) Rich Asians meets Jane Austen, Pride and Preston Lin is a delightful retelling of a beloved classic that had me smiling from page one. -- Evelyn Skye, New York Times bestselling author of The Hundred Loves of Juliet
