Amazing Book!

I absolutely love this book! I'm a great fan of Jane Austen and this was one of the first adaptations I've read. It was great! A definite must read for Jane Austen lovers!

Teen Regency Romance With a Twist

Mandy Hubbard's PRADA AND PREJUDICE combines modern teen lit and Regency romance in a fresh way. On a class trip to England, 15-year-old Callie wants to fit in with the other girls only because her best friend, Katie, has since moved away, leaving Callie friendless. In an attempt to crash the night club party the popular girls are going to, Callie buys a pair of Prada heels and promptly trips sending her back into 1815 England where she is mistaken for Rebecca, a girl from America who has come to visit the Duke of Harksbury. What ensues is a tangled mess including an illegitimate child, an arranged marriage, and social etiquette faux paus that will have you alternately laughing and crying and twisting your hands with worry. Hubbard's debut novel is rich with what matters most--learning how to be yourself and finding others who love you just the way you are--no matter what century you are in!

A place that I want to live in...

Callie should be having the time of her life. She id on a class trip to London. The problem is that not many of her classmates like her, since she called her best friend Katie and made fun of the cheerleaders... while one was in there. So, Callie decides to use her "emergency" credit card to buy a pair of Prada pumps. After just putting them on, Callie trips on a grate, and wakes up in the year 1815. She finds a caste and is mistaken for Rebbecca, Emily's Long lost friend that should be sailing over from America, soon. Callie has spark with Emily's Cute, but arrogant cousin Alex, also known as Duke of Harksbury. Emily is getting forced to marry Denworth, a man that is thirty years her senior and Emily might have feelings for someone else.. Callie has little time. Will she be able to break the engagement, make Alex open up, and Gain some grace? I love Callie and her Unique personality. It was great to see her shenanigans and humor. Emily was so sweet and you'll be cheering for a happy ending for her. Alex was very interesting and charming. Both the modern day and past were well done and elegantly mixed together. I can't wait to see more from Hubbard in the Future.

Cute teen read!

Prada and Prejudice was a very cute teen romance. I just couldnt get enough of it that I practically read it all in one sitting! I hope to see more of Mandy Hubbard's books in the future (a chick lit would be nice *wink*)

A Fantastic Debut!!

On her class trip, clumsy outcast Callie buys a pair of swank Prada shoes in order to fit in. She ends up tripping over her feet and landing in Austen-era England. There, a case of mistaken identity gets her taken in by the Duke of Harksbury, and then the fun begins as she navigates this new world, all the while falling for the hot Duke. This is one of those books you'll hate to put down, because every chapter is so much fun. You'll find yourself rooting for the awkward Callie as she eventually grows more confident in herself. You'll drool for the sexy duke Alex, and when Callie finally does find her "footing", you'll cheer for her! Based very loosely on Pride and Prejudice, this humorous teen time-travel romance is the perfect escape.
