5/5 STARS

At Coral Tree Prep in Los Angeles, who your parents are can make or break you. Cast in point:

- As the son of Hollywood royalty, Derek Edwards is pretty much prince of the school - not that he deigns to acknowledge many of his loyal subjects.
- As the daughter of the new principal, Elise Benton isn't exactly on everyone's must-sit-next-to-at-lunch list.

When Elise's beautiful sister catches the eye of the prince's best friend, Elise gets to spend a lot of time with Derek, making her the envy of every girl on campus. Except she refuses to fall for any of his rare smiles and instead warms up to his enemy, the surprisingly charming social outcast Webster Grant. But in this hilarious tale of fitting in and flirting, not all snubs are undeserved, not all celebrity brats are bratty, and pride and prejudice can get in the way of true love for only so long.

Review:

   Claire LaZebnik has written a modern reinterpretation of Pride and Prejudice. This book was cute and a fun read.

    Derek and Elise are total opposites, but they have such a cute relationship. Elise is someone who tells people what she thinks while Derek is someone who keeps to himself. Their relationship was definitely hot then cold then hot then cold then hot..... I do wish that the book was longer so we could have read more of them together.

    This book never had any boring parts which made me want to never put it down, I recommend this book to anyone who likes romance that isn't too lovey-dovey and that love fun books.
