There is something about a updated version of Pride and Prejudice that makes me smile the minute the connections are made. What impressed me about Definitely, Maybe in Love was how much of Pride and Prejudice Ophelia London managed to incorporate into the book. I would be reading and think wow that's awesome she fit that part in here and so on. Not to say it's just a carbon copy of P&P; because it's not. Ophelia takes and puts her spin on the story and even though the characters are similar they are still their own people, like reincarnations.Spring is such a funny character to me because she is trying to be someone she is not. She mentions it too that she decided she needed to hunker down and be this person to get through college and get a degree. Hence the braids, the only female singers and the peasant blouses. Spring is a touch chica though, maybe sometimes too tough but I think that's why Henry is good for her. He breaks down her walls and helps her find her real self. Not the crazy over environmental nerd.Henry is of course hunky and interesting. You know there is more to him then what Spring is first judging him for. When it comes to Spring he is so sweet, thoughtful and caring. He does enjoy pushing her buttons though which can make him come off as snarky and rude. He is so swoon worthy.I just really loved how the book gave me the good feels I get from reading Pride and Prejudice but with a modern setting. It was so well done that I don't know how to contain my gushing.
