"Meet the Harcourts of Chevy Chase, Maryland. A respectable middle-class, middle-age, mixed-race couple, Harold and Forsythia have four eminently marriageable daughters-or so their mother believes. Forsythia named her girls after Windsor royals in the hopes that one day each would find her true prince. But princes are far from the mind of their second-born daughter, Elizabeth (AKA Bliss), who, in the aftermath of a messy divorce, has moved back home and thrown herself into earning her PhD. All that changes when a Bachelorette-style reality television show called The Virgin takes Bliss's younger sister Diana as its star. Though she fights it at first, Bliss can't help but be drawn into the romantic drama that ensues, forcing her to reconsider everything she thought she knew about love, her family, and herself."--Dust jacket.… (mehr)

I got this book from the library as part of a "Blind Date with a Book" event for Valentine's Day. I'm relieved that I spent no money on it. "Jane Austen meets The Bachelorette" sounds like an interesting and possibly amusing premise, but aside from the main character and maybe her dad, everyone else is awful. The mother is ridiculous. The sisters are all pretty much terrible. Everyone seems like some crude stereotype. And the writing is so overwrought that I wanted to slam the book closed every few paragraphs. I finally gave up about 7 chapters in, which is really more than this book deserved. ( )

Funny family mix with a story of true love, and love for all the wrong reasons. Cute.

Not my usual read. Could actually have been a fun take off on The Bachelorette but it just got silly at the end. I guess kind of like the show . . . ( )

Another attempt to update P and P to this century, (4 biracial sisters instead of 3) that I thought might be amusing when I found it on an exchange shelf. It's even set near where I grew up. But ultimately, I don't have the patience for it right now, and will release it unfinished. If I hear fabulous reviews, I'll pick it back up from the library. I bid it farewell at Chapter 12.

Not for me. Good vocabulary words tossed in every which way, but the story's characters just want to be "somebody" just because the author forces dialogue on them. I should not even review it because I couldn't get past chapter 1, so to be fair I'll give it 3 stars. It's not poorly written but it is written by an experienced tv series writer. It's just not my speed. ( )
