This was a very sweet retelling of a classic. It is not the story as it is told by Jane Austen but a sweet modern story that assimilates the story we love. Of course nothing is as good as the original but I think the idea behind it was pretty good and I will definitely read the remaining books in "The Jane Austen Academy Series" where the rest of the stories come to life.In this story we have Lizzy who loves the all girl school she attends, their values and integrity but the school has changed ownership for the first time since it was founded and everything she loves is in jeopardy of changing completely. They're now a coed school and with all these boys come many more changes which she might not be too happy about. Being a girl that's always worked hard for everything she's accomplished she's not happy to find out that the competition just got harder to get into the college she's always dreamed of getting into, Georgetown. How can she beat this guy?Dante has just transferred across country to this school and he even though he wants nothing to do with anyone he can't help but like Lizzy. She's not only beautiful but also very passionate in everything she does. He loves that she stood up to him for his own sister and since then he can't stop thinking about her. Should he give it a try with her? But he has a huge secret that will surely come between them. Both of them being so stubborn  nothing good can come from it when everything is said and done.This story was pretty good. In the first half Lizzy kind of annoyed me with her prejudice of the other girls and the boys but once I reminded myself it was a spin on Pride and Prejudice I got over it. It actually got better as it progressed. A very entertaining book. I can't wait to get started on the next one.
