J. C. Peterson
Move over, Elizabeth Bennet. The most infamous Bennet sister is here to tell her story.Join Lola Barnes, a.k.a. a modern Lydia Bennet, at the beginning of a summer gone truly wrong: where a boat party-turned-fiery-fiasco ends with the ship, Lola’s summer plans, and her reputation truly sunk.(The boat was barely on fire, for the record—and all the partygoers were just fine.)Luckily, this disaster of a summer has another thing in store for her: a path of self-discovery she never saw coming.Given an ultimatum—jail time, or spending the summer with the nonprofit Hike Like a Girl—she laces up her hiking boots and takes to the wilderness. Along the way, she’ll encounter unexpected friends, a sweet romance, strength she didn’t know she had—and herself, Lola, at last.This Pride and Prejudice–inspired tale, a companion to J. C. Peterson’s Being Mary Bennet, spins a modern Lydia Bennet’s life into a tumultuous and hilarious coming-of-age journey, complete with misadventures, misunderstandings, mayhem, and a romance worthy of Darcy and Elizabeth themselves.

"just as amazing and beautiful and cute and hilarious as the last book!! i think jc peterson has captured both the bookish side of me and the nature-loving side of me in this series, and i literally almost cried when i read in the acknowledgments that this is the last book in the barnes sisters series, because i can't get enough of this story, though i will read anything jc peterson writes.<br/>this version of lydia bennet got the BEST redemption in lola at last, and it made me so happy!! and when i tell you i was smiling for half of this book, i'm being dead serious :) and i swear i laughed out loud (yes, like loud enough that people literally looked at me weirdly and i had to explain that this was one of my favorite books ever) at least 10 times while reading this!!<br/>the romance was just as cute as marnie's in the last book, and jc peterson writes some of the best fictional men! also, lola's character development was *chef's kiss* she blossomed beautifully!<br/>ok now for a little rant about the FANTASTIC WRITING OMG: peterson has captured lola's sarcastic stream of consciousness perfectly, and it's clearly unique and different from marnie's in the last book, yet it's just as hilarious and now i want to be best friends with all the barnes sisters because of how amazing and unique each of them are :) i will read any of peterson's future books just for the writing alone! as an aspiring writer, all i can say is WOW"
