Pride and Prejudice: In Pride and Prejudice, the arrival of the wealthy bachelor Charles Bingley and his haughty friend, Fitzwilliam Darcy, revolutionizes the quiet life of the Bennet family. While the desperate Mrs. Bennet yearns to marry off her five daughters, the intelligent and independent Elizabeth immediately clashes with the proud Mr. Darcy. Surrounded by misunderstandings, gossip, and family scandals, both must overcome their own pride and deep-rooted prejudices to discover that true love defies first impressions.

When Elizabeth Bennet first knew Mr. Darcy, she despised him and was sure he felt the same. Angered by his pride and reserve, influenced by the lies of the charming Mr. Wickham, she never troubled herself to believe he was anything other than the worst of men—until, one day, he unexpectedly proposed. Mr. Darcy's passionate avowal of love causes Elizabeth to reevaluate everything she thought she knew about him.

Lizbeth Dreyfus is a modern woman with a classic problem—perfection is exhausting. As sorority president, an honors student, and a relentless overachiever, she expects nothing but the best—from herself and everyone around her. She certainly doesn’t have time for a man who challenges her at every turn, especially not Wil, who seems determined to find fault in everything she does. So when he confesses his feelings (flaws and all) Lizbeth is forced to confront a truth she’s been avoiding: maybe she’s the one who needs to change.
