Stuck Up and Stupid: Reese's Book Club Pick

While I didn't hate this book, I certainly didn't like it either. It went on too long talking about nothing. You never truly got a description of anyone, so it was a bit difficult imagining them. As a matter of fact, nothing was described, not the house, not the people, hair color, short, tall even the beach.There were just tons and tons of talking about nothing. It is amazing how you can write a book about nothing really and describe nothing and it was a Reese Witherspoon book club read, I just don't get it.

This novel is every bit as shallow as it's title. It takes place on a secluded beach in Australia and later a segment in Hollywood, California. The premise is that a group of Hollywood bigwigs visit this beach to "get away from it all". While there, they meet a bevy of bikini clad local girls. The hijinks and a wave of possible love matches ensue with checkered results.

This adaptation is geared more for the teen readers. I feel that if you are a "knowledgeable" Jane Austen fan this current adaptation will leave you longing for more of the "original" book. The book still had its moments, but they were few and far between.

A nice love story and retelling of Pride and Prejudice. It’s nice seeing the main characters grow through out the book and grapple with being stuck up and stupid. The chemistry though can come off a little forced and just seemed to come together because that’s what romcoms call for. Over all it was a nice summer ready and a light hearted story.

It's ok
