Synopsis

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.

Lola at Last I received an ARC from Edelweiss TW: fire, slutshaming 4 Lola wasn’t a character I spent much time thinking about in Peterson’s “Being Mary Bennet” and as someone whose Pride & Prejudice knowledge comes almost entirely from the movie Bride & Prejudice, and I wasn’t really sure what I w......more

The most delightful romp through self growth, sister bonds, new love and nature. I loved this so much and hope there’s more of these unlikely Jane Austen retold heroines to come.......more

Goodreads review by Nicole

Actual rating: 3.5 stars I won an physical ARC in a giveaway hosted by the publisher. I didn’t like this one as much as I did the first book, but I think it followed the same trend I saw: really crappy beginning, a good middle, and a great ending. It was hard for me to like Lola in the beginning. I fe......more
