Based on the Emmy Award–winning YouTube series The Lizzie Bennet Diaries.Twenty‑four‑year‑old grad student Lizzie Bennet is saddled with student loan debt and still living at home along with her two sisters—beautiful Jane and reckless Lydia. When she records her reflections on life for her thesis project and posts them on YouTube, she has no idea The Lizzie Bennet Diaries will soon take on a life of their own, turning the Bennet sisters into internet celebrities seemingly overnight.
When rich and handsome Bing Lee comes to town, along with his stuck‑up friend William Darcy, things really start to get interesting for the Bennets—and for Lizzie’s viewers. But not everything happens on‑screen. Lucky for us, Lizzie has a secret diary.

Lizzie’s private musings are filled with revealing details about the Bennet household, including her growing suspicions about her parents’ unstable financial situation, her sister’s budding relationship with Bing Lee, the perils of her unexpected fame, and her uncertainty over her future—and whom she wants to share it with.
Featuring plenty of fresh twists to delight fans and new readers alike, The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet expands on the web series phenomenon that captivated a generation and reimagines the Pride and Prejudice story like never before.

Ill save you having to read this review: Just go watch The Lizzie Bennet Diaries on YouTube. I mean it. GO!Okay, now when youre done with that, come back and read this review. And then maybe get yourself a copy of The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet and snuggle up in your reading chair for a couple of hours. What this book is, basically, is an adaptation of a YouTube series, which is itself a modern day adaptation of Jane Austens Pride & Prejudice, told in interactive vlog-form (there are4.5★I was expecting the book to be the You Tube clips https://www.youtube.com/user/LizzieBe... transcribedI was pleasantly surprised.It's more a behind the scenes look. & more like Pride and Prejudice than the You Tube diaries were.Last year I read Eligible: A Modern Retelling of Pride and Prejudice which I found cynical, cold and full of deeply unlikeable characters. In contrast, the characters of this book have warmth, heart and the modernisation is believable. Normally I hate short
I watched the innovative and fun YouTube serial and became addicted to each week's latest installment. I was tickled to discover this companion book to the on-line story of a modern grad student who shares her daily life in a series of short vlog installments on-line that pull in all the quirky people around her as well. The authors did a great job providing new 'behind the scenes' style material and helping Lizzie and the crew come alive more than ever even while referencing some of the best
Okay, so I admit I was a big fan of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries and I love Pride and Prejudice and I was so excited to read this book, I really was - particularly because I had heard it was really good. Sadly, I had issues with The Secret Diaries of Lizzie Bennet, I think Lizzie's personality didn't always translate well to the book format, she often came off a little wooden and, dare I say it, not quite likable. And I also felt like a lot of her 'personal' diary feel like a research log:
Frankly, Im pretty convinced that every single fan of the sweeping classic Pride and Prejudice should watch The Lizzie Bennet Diaries videos, then read this companion novel and vice versa, as you prefer it.Pride and Prejudice is, as I very likely may have mentioned it before, my most loved classic, and my not having had the chance to peruse them all means absolutely nothing. This contemporary retelling did it justice on every aspect. Even the writing is formidable.The relationships between
I didn't read this when it first came out because I was under the mistaken impression that it was a novelization of Lizzie's YouTube vlogs. I was completely wrong. This is a behind-the-scenes look at Lizzie's vlogs and her private thoughts on events. You get more of the Bennet parents and see what they're really like, get to meet Lizzie's advisor Mrs. Gardiner (nice allusion there) and of course experience the romance!!! I could NOT put this book down. The story sucked me in as much as the
First of all, I love Lizzie Bennet. Who couldn't? She's real, she's funny, and she cares deeply about the people in her life. She isn't above criticism and, when shown the error of her ways, fights to change her perspective. I loved what Bernie Su and the writers did with this series, and I still miss the biweekly episodes of Bennet drama. So, naturally I was beyond psyched while waiting for this book to come out. I was especially excited when I found out it was a diary. I thought that I would
