LIKES & PREJUDICE: A Modern Love Story
Inspired by Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single tech billionaire with a verified blue checkmark must be in want of a wife — or at least a relationship his publicist can announce.
When Charles Bingley, golden boy of the startup world, buys the penthouse in a Brooklyn high-rise, the Bennet family's group chat erupts. Eliza Bennet — sharp-tongued journalist, feminist columnist, and reluctant participant in her mother's matchmaking schemes — wants nothing to do with it. But Bingley's best friend, the impossibly wealthy and famously prickly William Darcy, has other plans, even if his first impression of Eliza is anything but flattering.
Between viral op-eds, DMs from a little too charming startup consultant, an overzealous LinkedIn cousin, and a family crisis that threatens to upend everything, Eliza will have to decide whether her sharpest instincts — the ones that make her a brilliant writer — are leading her toward the truth, or away from it.
A witty, modern reimagining of Jane Austen's beloved classic, Likes & Prejudice trades carriages for group chats, ballrooms for rooftop parties, and letters for 2am emails — but keeps everything readers love about the original: the slow-burn tension, the razor-sharp banter, and the swoon-worthy realization that first impressions are rarely the whole story.
Perfect for fans of contemporary Austen retellings, enemies-to-lovers romance, and love stories where the wit is just as sharp as the chemistry.
