It’s not often I thoroughly enjoy chick lit. I can count the number of times on both hands that I have read a chick lit book and not rolled my eyes every couple of paragraphs, or wanted to throw the book across the room at some point due to the flakiness of the main characters. Pride, Prejudice and Jasmin Field was one of the few I enjoyed. In fact, I may have enjoyed it so thoroughly that I have gone back and reread my favourite parts numerous times already.

Pride, Prejudice and Jasmin Field is a modern-day retelling of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Jasmin Field is a journalist, who gets the leading role in a stage production of Pride and Prejudice. The director of the play, one Harry Noble, is the Mr. Darcy not only in the stage production, but in the book as well. And oh, from the moment Jasmin overhears Harry call her the “ugly sister”, you know how things are going to end up turning out.

While this was thoroughly predictable, it was definitely cute, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Now, does anyone know of a good retelling of Sense and Sensibility? I’m craving a modern-day Col. Brandon.
