It is a truth universally acknowledged that every bookworm secretly
wishes to be Lizzy Bennet from Pride and Prejudice.
A less acknowledged truth is that Mary Bennet might be a better fit.
For Marnie Barnes, realizing she's a Mary Bennet is devastating. But
she's determined to reinvent herself, so she enlists the help of her
bubbly roommate and opens up to the world.
And between new friends, a very cute boy, and a rescue pup named Sir
Pat, Marnie finds herself on a path to becoming a new person entirely.
But she's no Lizzy, or even Mary--instead, she's someone even better:
just plain Marnie.
With a hilariously sharp voice, a sweet and fulfilling romance that
features a meet-cute in an animal shelter, and a big family that revels
in causing big problems, this charming comedy of errors about a girl
who resolves to become the main character of her own story (at any and
all costs), is perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Becky Albertalli...and
Jane Austen, of course.
