The Lizzie Bennett Diaries Book

So I've never seen the web series, but I just saw that there's a book based on the web series coming out this summer and several of my IRL friends who watched the series are super excited about it.  Is it just my ignorance talking, or wouldn't the book of The Lizzie Bennett Diaries just be Pride and Prejudice?

Re: The Lizzie Bennett Diaries Book

  • Ha! Well, the web series took a lot of creative liberties with the story. Lizzie is a 20-something graduate student, Jane works in fashion and has tons of student loans she can't afford to pay back, Lydia loves to party, Kitty is their cat. George Wichkam is a swim coach and likes to show off his abs. It's a totally modern version of the same basic story - in the same way 10 Things I Hate About You is Taming of the Shrew or Clueless is Emma. It stuck a little closer to the source material, but it's not exactly the same.

  • Ok that makes more sense - a modern day P&P retelling.

  • LOL. One would think, right? I've been meaning to re-watch LBD. I love it so very much. 

    Oh, and a separate, but sort of related note- I've been meaning to ask you, @Young_Love - What do you think of Emma Approved?

    I was really enjoying it, but I accidentally missed one ep and I never went back and got into them. I think I'm going to wait until it's almost over and watch it all at once.

    That's exactly what happened to me.

    Wasn't Bridget Jones's Diary a modern retelling of P & P?
