Prada and Prejudice Mandy Hubbard Books

I just re-read this book and loved it just as I originally did. Callie is in London, England for a school trip and she feels so alone. She was supposed to be there with her best friend but she ended up moving away so she's trapped with the mean popular girls. She decides to go buy some Prada shoes to try to fit in with the popular girls and ends up leaving the store, tripping on the side walk, and wakes up in 1815 England. She's so confused and lost and ends up at the home of the Duke of Harksbury. Emily, his cousin, is at the door and thinks she is her friend Rebecca who is supposed to be travelling to visit from America.

Callie is usually really clumsy and she always feels like a geek. She made a mistake and talked to her best friend on the phone in the bathroom at school and a popular chearleader was there and hasn't allowed her to forget it. Emily is so sweet, upbeat, and thrilled to have Rebecca there. Emily is engaged to be married to a man she doesn't really know and she's been depressed about it. They are staying at Alex the Duke of Harksbury's estate and his mother Victoria lives there as well. He seems very stuffy and he doesn't seem to care about others. He's good looking and young but he has an air of superiority it seems. Callie wants to be a real friend and to help Emily and so she goes about helping her get out of her engagement so she can be with who she really wants to. She soon learns there is so much more to Alex than how he appears. She has immense guilt for pretending to be Rebecca.

Definitely worth reading.

Prada and Prejudice Mandy Hubbard Books Reviews

Desperate to gain acceptance from the popular girls, Callie buys a pair of Prada heels, but after two steps in the shoes, she trips and falls face first into the pavement. She comes to in regency England where she meets Emily and her handsome but moody cousin Alex, who mistake her for a family friend. Callie gets pulled into their family troubles, all while dealing with the biggest trial of all — how she is going to get home.

This is a light, funny young adult romance. It's very clean and sweet, too. While it didn't blow me away, I really enjoyed reading it and would gladly recommend this book to teens of any age that like Jane Austen, romance, and humor.

Content Some taking of the Lord's name in vain. Clean otherwise.
Prada and Prejudice is my favorite Jane Austen book. I loved the sparks that flew when the slightly impoverished Elizabeth Bennet meets the haughty and rich Mr. Darcy. Their growing love and acceptance of each other never fails to move me.

Prada and Prejudice sounded just about perfect to me, an awkward girl is tossed back in time and clashes with an arrogant young Duke. Callie, aged fifteen, is shy. She's a bookworm and doesn't have any friends among the other girls on her once-in-a-lifetime trip to England. But then she overhears the other girls saying they are going to sneak out and go to a nightclub and she decides to join them, it's her last chance to impress them and try to have a good time on her trip.

She heads out to buy something snappy for her night out and BAM, she's in the 18th century!

All of the story, up to this point, was fantastic. I loved Callie's determination in the face of the snotty rich girls.

But there were some bumps in the story.

No explanation is given for her time travel.

It seemed a bit too convenient that she found a place to stay and everyone was super accepting of her odd ways and didn't seem too scandalized by her bizarro modern clothing.

The rules of conduct, being alone with a man you are not married to or closely related to weren't followed. Ditto for the wandering around improperly dressed.

The strange incident at the end of the ball didn't add to the story in any way and even the characters moved on from what would have been considered a miracle for that time period.

Her angry clashes with people about being treated the way 18th century women are treated. Callie was def a feminist.

Callie's angry diatribe about not being referred to as 'my lady,' wore thin.

Where the story truly shone were in the interactions between Callie and Emily (a sweet, docile girl with a flair for fashion and an impending arranged marriage to an old guy).

Also, in the beginning of the book I had an intense feeling of embarrassment for Callie as she tried, so hard, to fit in with the popular girls. I think the author really got how terrible it is to be a stranger to the people around you because you have a certain quirkiness that isn't appreciated.

All in all, this was a quick read with a nice ending.
This is a light, fun young adult twist on Pride and Prejudice. In it, Callie is a 15-year-old sophomore on a class trip to England during summer vacation. Callie is not enjoying her trip as much as she hoped, as the "A-list" girls are ignoring her and she is left pretty much to herself. A known klutz, Callie falls and bumps her head outside of a Prada shoe store, where she has just purchased a pair of 3-inch heels (hoping to impress the A-listers). When Callie regains her senses, she somehow has been transported to 1815 Regency England. After a fortuitous mistake causes her to be mixed up with an American guest in a duke's home, Callie takes residence and struggles to integrate into 1815 English customs. The restrictions and expectations of women during that time period are particularly hard for Callie to swallow and Callie becomes embroiled in an effort to save a young woman she befriends from an unwanted engagement. During this time, Callie also gets to know the young duke, Alex. At first, Callie thinks he is an arrogant, controlling jerk. Over time, she realizes that first impressions cannot always be trusted, and the duke may be much more than he at first appears to be.

Overall, this is an enjoyable and credible modern twist on the classic. It has creative plot parallels to the original book. In addition, Callie's character development is interesting and relatable. Anyone who likes Jane Austen should like this version of the story, although readers expecting something deep or intellectual will be disappointed.
