Move over, Elizabeth Bennet. The most infamous Bennet sister is here to tell her story. Join Lola Barnes, a.k.a. a modern Lydia Bennet, at the beginning of a summer gone truly wrong: where a boat party-turned-fiery-fiasco ends with the ship, Lola's summer plans, and her reputation truly sunk.(The boat was barely on fire, for the record-and all the partygoers were just fine.)Luckily, this disaster of a summer has another thing in store for her: a path of self-discovery she never saw coming.
Given an ultimatum-jail time, or spending the summer with the nonprofit Hike Like a Girl-she laces up her hiking boots and takes to the wilderness. Along the way, she'll encounter unexpected friends, a sweet romance, strength she didn't know she had-and herself, Lola, at last. This Pride and Prejudice-inspired tale, a companion to J. C. Peterson's Being Mary Bennet, spins a modern Lydia Bennet's life into a tumultuous and hilarious coming-of-age journey, complete with misadventures, misunderstandings, mayhem, and a romance worthy of Darcy and Elizabeth themselves.
One disastrous party. One summer in the wilderness. And one chance for Lola to finally find herself. Forced Proximity: Lola's not a fan of nature, and her new hiking companions aren't exactly fans of her. Too bad they're all stuck together for the entire summer. Found Family: She expected to hate everyone on the trail, but finds unexpected friendship-and maybe something more-when she's forced to rely on others for the first time.
Redemption Arc: After a boat party disaster sinks her reputation, Lola gets an ultimatum: spend the summer hiking or go to jail. It's the last chance she has to turn her life around. YA Rom-Com: Full of hilarious misadventures and witty banter, this coming-of-age story is a must-read for anyone who loves a heroine who has to get a little lost to find her way.
