*ARC was provided by the publisher in return for an honest review*Definitely, Maybe In Love, was an impressive, humorous and engaging read.  Although this is a modern adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, it truly can stand on its own merit.  The writing was superb; with witty dialogue, funny and almost hilarious situations both main characters find themselves in and an insightful look at love, this book is guaranteed to keep you reading till the end.  I love adaptations of classics only because the theme from those favorites are given a new look without actually twisting the core of them.  Spring Honeycutt and Henry Knightly are definitely the modern counterparts of Elizabeth and Darcy.  This time around they're in college and are in opposite sides of environmental issues.  Spring with her braids, vegetarian diet and strong opinions about land developers and sustainability needs the help of Henry in her thesis.  Henry unfortunately has some preconceived ideas about her and it takes awhile for her to actually ask his input.  From then on its one hilarious chase to the path of true love.  If you've read Pride and Prejudice you would definitely feel some familiarity especially with secondary characters and their own situations but the comparisons end there.  In saying that, hard core fans of P&P; should probably leave their expectations out the door and enjoy the book on its own.
