Copy received from Hachette Australia for an honest review


A modern day retelling of Pride and Prejudice on an Australian farm - let me at it! Who needs McLeod's Daughter when you have Aussie Darcy?

Fitzwilliam Darcy was my first ever book boyfriend, before I even knew what BBFs were. For 30 years he has been my boo, and now I can love him just a little bit more.

Yes, we still get the story of love, family and friendship - with Instagram and Facebook thrown in for good measure.

We have all lour favourite characters - I particularly adored Charlotte in this version, she is not the the meek and mild Charlotte from other versions, she's a bit of a wild one in this version!

The one thing that did irk me a little in the story was, to me, the overuse of the word "bloke" when Lizzy was talking about Charlie and Will. It made Lizzy sound ockerish - however this is probably just a me thing.

Wonderful characters, beautiful writing, I read this book in a couple of days and enjoyed every second of it.

I look forward to seeing what Ms Palmer brings us next.
