This contemporary twist on Jane Austen's Emma features the signature
wit and swoon-worthy romance of beloved author Claire LaZebnik's other
fan favorites Epic Fail, The Trouble with Flirting, and The Last
Best Kiss.
Ellie Withers is definitely not spoiled, so she wishes that George
Nussbaum would stop implying that she is. It's not her fault that her
stepfather became a TV star and now they live in a big house and people
fawn over her wherever she goes. She doesn't even like being fawned
over. Fortunately, her two closest friends understand her a lot better
than George: Heather Smith loved her before she even knew who Ellie's
stepfather was, and handsome Aaron Marquand has a father who's just as
famous.
With Aaron back in town and very much in her life, Ellie feels like
things are just fine--or would be if her mother hadn't hired George to
tutor her. George has a habit of making Ellie feel a little less sure of
herself, a little less on top of the world, a little less right about
everything. It's almost like he wants her to be a better person than she
is.
When Ellie's plans for her family, her friends, and even her love life
don't turn out the way she imagined, she begins to wonder if maybe she
could stand to learn a thing or two after all . . . and whether it's
possible--or even likely--that the perfect person to teach her is the
last person she'd expect.
