Commentary Conducive To Books Me and Mr. Darcy
Dreams come true in this hilarious, feel-good fairy tale about life, love, and dating literature’s most eligible bachelor!After a string of disastrous dates, Emily Albright decides she’s had it with modern-day love and would much rather curl up with Pride and Prejudice and spend her time with Mr. Darcy, the dashing, honorable, and passionate hero of Jane Austen’s classic. So when her best friend suggests a wild week of margaritas and men in Mexico with the girls, Emily abruptly flees to England on a guided tour of Jane Austen country instead. Far from inspiring romance, the company aboard the bus consists of a gaggle of little old ladies and one single man, Spike Hargreaves, a foul-tempered journalist writing an article on why the fictional Mr. Darcy has earned the title of Man Most Women Would Love to Date.
The last thing Emily expects to find on her excursion is a broodingly handsome man striding across a field, his damp shirt clinging to his chest. But that’s exactly what happens when she comes face-to-face with none other than Mr. Darcy himself. Suddenly, every woman’s fantasy becomes one woman’s reality. . . .

Mr. Darcy is in our fantasy"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single girl in possession of her right mind must be in want of a decent man." Do you agree with that? That makes sense, doen't it? But...hang on... Doesn't it sound familiar? How about comparing it with the following words? "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife" Quite similar...almost identical, aren't they? TheMy parents, a scientist and a career academic, both have a fondness for Regency (i.e., historical and relatively chaste) romance novels that might seem at odds with their characters. If I remember right, on separate occasions, both described a fascination with the combinatorial aspect of the genre: all the allowed variations of the genre playing out in slightly different combinations, like the colored glass chips tumbling in an old-school kaleidoscope: always different, always the same. Perhaps
Yuck. That's really how I felt about this book(I will do my nest to review with no spoilers). I enjoyed the first 80 or so pages (the ones before she left New York), but after that this book really fell flat. I felt as if this could have been a cute, if some what done, book. But Ms. Potter just made the characters so unlikeable (to me at least). The best friend Stella was so shallow that I really found noting to like about her except her marriage. The journalist, Spike, sounded nothing like an
this was really cute, a sweet retelling type thing about Mr Darcy and finding the perfect man ❤
I was horribly, HORRIBLY annoyed by the narrator (who was meant to be an American) speaking like an English girl. I get it, the author is British, but isn't that what editors are for? Why didn't someone step in and say that that just isn't how American's talk. Then she'd oh-so-wittily throw in an Oh, look, I've just called the sidewalk a pavement, I'm really learning how to speak like a Brit. Hehehe!! She thought that she was so witty, so clever. But really? Not so much. At all. The Kate and
I knew I wouldn't like this book the second I realized its goal was to convince me that Mr. Darcy is not all he's cracked up to be. "The only problem is, how on earth do you break up with Mr. Darcy?" (p. 301)You don't. And especially not to go out with a guy who calls you a "bitch" while you call him an "asshole" while you're drunk and high. Maybe this girl should start reading V.C. Andrews or something.I just think that trying to convince women who are infatuated with Mr. Darcy that if they met
1,5 starsI admit I bought this book because of Mr. Darcy. I was looking for a light, easy read to get my out of my slump and in a way it was just that. But when I say light and easy I DON'T mean predictable and dumb. And this book... Oh boy.(just a quick warning: I am spoiling the whole book down below, so if you want to read it - please don't - you better stop reading after this paragraph. But to be honest, if you've read Pride and Prejudice then these aren't really spoilers anyway because this
