Howdy YAL!
I used to be the blogger called YAL Book Briefs, but I grew bored of the handle and changed my name to Howdy YAL. I also respond to MJ. I like to read, write, eat truffles, and watch bad Lifetime movies.
Prom and Prejudice
I've read several Pride and Prejudice retellings throughout the years. Most of them have been adult books this was the first YA adaption of the novel I read. And I was pleasantly surprised. I liked Eulberg's versions of Elizabeth and Darcy. I particularly liked the fact that Elizabeth had a life outside her love life. Meaning, I loved the fact that she was some sort of piano prodigy. It's refreshing to see in any YA book that the main character has goals that aren't concentrated and/or obsessed with finding Edward Cullen. I also to give kudos to Eulberg for how she handled the Lydia plot. I personally thought Darcy kicked ass in those scenes.To see full review click here: http://yalbookbriefs.blogspot.com/2012/02/classic-week-prom-and-prejudice-by.html.
