"A Touchstone book."
"There is a great deal that goes into making a video blog. Lizzie Bennet should know, having become a YouTube sensation over the course of her year-long video diary project. The Lizzie Bennet Diaries chronicled Lizzie's life as a twenty-four-year-old grad student, struggling under a mountain of student loans and living at home with her two sisters--beautiful Jane and reckless Lydia. What may have started as her grad student thesis grew into so much more, as the videos came to inform and reflect her life and that of her sisters. When rich, handsome Bing Lee comes to town, along with his stuck-up friend William Darcy, things really start to get interesting for the Bennets--and for Lizzie's viewers. Suddenly Lizzie--who always considered herself a fairly normal young woman--was a public figure. But not everything happened on-screen. Luckily for us, Lizzie kept a secret diary. The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet provides more character introspection as only a book can, with revelatory details about the Bennet household, including Lizzie's special relationship with her father, untold stories from Netherfield, Lizzie's thoughts and fears about life after grad school and becoming an instant web celebrity" -- from publisher's web site.
Contents: Pride and prejudice.

Pride, Prejudice, & Video Blogs submitted by sdunav on June 12, 2015, 5:02pm Remember that web series - vlogs of an updated Pride & Prejudice? This is the spin-off book. It was fun, even though I knew (kind of, they did change things up a bit) how it was going to end.

The parts featuring George Wickham and Lydia were awesome. I liked how this book ended that sub-plot a lot more than the original. Also, Mary is a goth cousin that doesn't enter into the story much, and Kitty is a cat.

Fun submitted by DL on August 19, 2020, 1:12am This was a fun easy modern take on Pride & Prejudice.
