Summary:
To impress the popular girls on a high school trip to London, klutzy Callie buys real Prada heels. But trying them on, she trips, conks her head, and wakes up in the year 1815! There Callie meets Emily, who takes her in, mistaking her for a long-lost friend. As she spends time with Emily's family, Callie warms to them, particularly to Emily's cousin Alex, a hottie and a duke, if a tad arrogant.
But can Callie save Emily from a dire engagement, and win Alex's heart, before her time in the past is up?
More Cabot than Ibbotson, Prada and Prejudice is a high-concept romantic comedy about finding friendship and love in the past in order to have happiness in the present.
My Review:
This book was cute and quite a fast read but it wasnt all sugar and spice.... The whole premise was fantastic but I wanted more detail and for her and Alex to get it onnnn ;D (just kidding) In some ways she was way to old to be merely 15 and in some cases she acted 12; not thinking and just saying. If I was in the situation Callie found herself in I think I would've handled much MUCH better. Also I loved the shoes! But all in all this was a cute, fun, and fast read =) |
Excerpt:
“What do you mean, ruined?"
From the way Emily swallows slowly, you'd think we were talking about smoking crack. "Compromised. By...by another man."
"Oh!" I say, too loudly. "You mean, if the girl's not a virgin, the guy won't marry her?"
She nods, her eyes wide, as if being a non-virgin is akin to being an ax-murder.”
