Pride and Preston Lin

Pride and Preston Lin - Christina Hwang Dudley

Pride and Preston Lin

"A delightfully quirky treat to read! Move over Elizabeth Bennet, it's time for Lissie Cheng to take the spotlight."
--Sofi LaPorte, bestselling author of the Merry Spinsters, Charming Rogues series
In this modern-day retelling of Pride and Prejudice, the quick-witted and contrarian Lissie Cheng must navigate societal pressures and her growing attraction to the rich and enigmatic Preston Lin. Lissie is the middle of three sisters, orphaned and taken in by their aunt and uncle. Both she and her older sister, Jenny, work in the family restaurant while pursuing their education and career dreams. When Lissie accidentally serves a dish containing shellfish paste to an allergic customer, she runs afoul of the wealthy Lin family. Their golden boy, Preston, star swimmer and Stanford Ph.D. student, is as handsome as he is self-righteous. Lissie hates him and everything he stands for, but circumstances keep bringing them together. Can she overcome her pride and her initial misgivings about Preston Lin and his condescending mother? Will love prevail, and will these enemies turn into lovers? Pride and Preston Lin by popular Regency romance writer Christina Hwang Dudley is a hilarious and earnest contemporary riff on Jane Austen's classic work. And readers will undoubtedly root for Lissie Cheng, a sassy new Elizabeth Bennet for our times, to find lasting love and happiness.
* Starred review, Kirkus Reviews * "In a world with so many Pride & Prejudice adaptations,
a new one has to be truly special to stand out, and this one is.
Dudley's contemporary debut is faithful to its source material but finds
clever ways to make it work in a modern setting, while also adding an
authentic Chinese American perspective on the beloved story. A warm,
sweet story with all the witticisms Austen fans savor.
A contemporary spin on Jane
Austen that combines the charm of the original with a new perspective."

"A delightfully quirky treat to read! Move over Elizabeth Bennet, it's time for Lissie Cheng to take the spotlight."
--Sofi LaPorte, bestselling author of the Merry Spinsters, Charming Rogues series "Like Crazy (not) Rich Asians meets Jane Austen, Pride and Preston Lin is a delightful retelling of a beloved classic that had me smiling from page one."
