For lovers of The Lizzy Bennet Diaries and other contemporary explorations of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, comes Pride and Prejudice and Passports, a delicious retelling of friendship, family, and fiercely strong women. Elisa's sister is falling in love with a state representative for California, but he doesn't know she's an undocumented immigrant. His friend Will Darcy is also some kind of political powerhouse--born into it, of course--and a bit of a jerk. Elisa wants to help her sister avoid heartbreak, but when their mother gets involved, Charles thinks they were all using him. Darcy can't help his interest in Elisa, even when Charles backs off. Why is arguing with Elisa more interesting than agreeing with anyone else? Elisa shoots him down hard, but Darcy's sister Giana, a Disney pop-star recovering from an addiction, has already bonded with her. She hires Elisa as her assistant and personal trainer on her concert tour, and if she happens to bring Elisa by Darcy's Washington D.C. campaign office... Well, what's a sister to do for her awkward big brother who doesn't know he's crazy in love, but to give him a second chance?
