It is a widely accepted fact that every bookworm harbors a secret desire to be Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice. However, a less acknowledged truth is that Mary Bennet might be a more suitable match. For Marnie Barnes, realizing that she is a Mary Bennet is a devastating realization. Nevertheless, she is determined to reinvent herself, so she seeks the assistance of her bubbly roommate and opens herself up to the world.

And amidst new friendships, a charming boy, and a rescue pup named Sir Pat, Marnie finds herself on a journey of self-discovery. However, she is not a Lizzy or a Mary—instead, she is someone entirely new: just plain Marnie.

This delightful comedy of errors, about a girl who resolves to become the protagonist of her own story (at any and all costs), is perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Becky Albertalli, as well as Jane Austen. With a hilariously sharp voice, a sweet and fulfilling romance that features a meet-cute in an animal shelter, and a large family that revels in causing mischief, this book is sure to delight readers of all ages.
