Many thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest book by Freya Sampson. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!
Zoe dreams of being a romance writer, but her ex-boyfriend convinced her she wasn't good enough. Now she's sworn off men except for fictional ones, and of course her favorite is Austen's Mr. Darcy. She stumbles across a bookshop in London and the owner, Nick, refuses to sell romance novels. When she finds a copy of Pride & Prejudice on a top shelf, she takes it. But after reading from it, she realizes she has summoned Mr. Darcy to the present day. Can he ever be as good as he is in the novel?
I'm surprised that this one is not getting better reviews, because even as someone like me who is not an Austen superfan enjoyed it! Yes, it's filled with magical realism but it's also filled with all those things that Freya Sampson does so well - found family, charming characters, and just a fun storyline. Pick this up when you need an escape from reality that will surely bring a smile to your face.
