'Delightfully sassy' BUZZFEED

'These are the diaries you're glad Mrs Bennet never came across.' GRAZIA

'Like being hugged by a book' HOLLY BOURNE

Lydia is the youngest Bennet sister and she's sick of country life - instead of sewing and reading, she longs for adventure. When a red-coated garrison arrives in Merryton, Lydia's life turns upside down.

As she falls for dashing Wickham, she's swept into a whirlwind social circle and deposited in a seaside town, Brighton. Sea-bathing, promenades and scandal await - and a pair of intriguing siblings.

Can Lydia find out what she really wants - and can she get it?

  • A brand new spin on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, from the perspective of the youngest and wildest Bennet sister, Lydia - a truly modern girl, and everyone's favourite sister!
  • A classic yet contemporary tale of love, scandal and growing up that will appeal to Austen fans young and old. 
  • Brilliantly weaves in and around the original novel, retelling and breathing new life into Lydia's story.
