Hubbard, Mandy Prada and Prejudice, 238 p. Razorbill (Penguin), 2009. $8.99.
Content: G.
Callie thinks that buying a pair of Prada shoes will get her in good with the snobby girl she has to room with on what was supposed to be a fabulous trip to England. Instead however, she wobbles her way into a concussion and wakes to find herself in 1815 England, instead. She is taken in by Emily, who thinks that Callie is a childhood friend. But the real sparks fly between Callie and Alex, the Duke of Harksbury, who is also Emily’s cousin. Callie will manage to cause plenty of trouble – even if she never finds her way back to her real life.
Despite the implication in the title, this is not a Pride and Prejudice story-line. Instead, it is a nice little take on love and romance in the 19th century, with a healthy dose of confidence building included.
