YA Romanance (ages 14-17) |
This sharp, hilarious, and heartfelt novel is giving major Austen vibes with a fresh twist - and we're obsessed."-Reese's Book Club (Reese's Book Club Summer '25 YA Pick) An ordinary girl. A Hollywood star. A love story that could change everything. Pride and Prejudice gets a modern twist in this summer romance from two debut authors who deliver the perfect beach read with heart and hilarity. Lily has the whole summer stretched out before her-endless days of sunshine and friends at beautiful Pippi Beach. Then superstar Dorian Khan arrives, with his party of Hollywood types. While most of the locals, including Lily's glamor-obsessed mum, are thrilled to be so close to the A-listers, Lily can't help but see them as superficial and arrogant, especially Dorian, the most famous of them all. But as Lily's and Dorian's paths continue to cross, she begins to wonder if she's got him all wrong. Playwright Kate Rice and her daughter, Hollywood actor Angourie Rice, team up to write a teen romance novel from those who know firsthand what the international film industry is really like. Inspired by the ever--popular Austen fandom, Stuck Up and Stupid is for a generation of teens who are definitely NOT looking for love. |

Stuck Up and Stupid is an absolute delight. A charming take on Pride and Prejudice that brings a romance, a place, and, most importantly, a family to life. Jane Austen fans, your new favorite read awaits!
-Rachael Lippincott, coauthor of the #1 New York Times bestseller Five Feet Apart
Upbeat prose injects an air of dreaminess into depictions of the Australian coast setting. Hollywood drama and an enemies-to-lovers romance add a splash of tension to the novel's summery vibes. -Publishers Weekly Pride and Prejudice meets celebrity romance in this contemporary work set in rural Australia and Hollywood... A frothy and fun retelling. -Kirkus Reviews Hollywood clashes with suburbia in this modern-day retelling of Pride and Prejudice in which a resident of an Australian island is swept up into the world of a closed-off movie star... Jane Austen fans might appreciate the book for its faithful adherence to the plot of the author's classic hit, with the setting and commentary on Hollywood serving as a clever distinction. -Booklist Adorable ... A great read. -Jennifer Garner, Actress, Philanthropist, Entrepreneur |
