In this week’s episode, Alicia and Emilie dive into The Lake House at Ramsgate by MJ Stratton—a masterful mash-up of Pride and Prejudice with the 2006 film The Lake House (yes, the one with Sandra Bullock, Keanu Reeves, and some delightfully wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey stuff). This is our second P&P + movie combo (third if you count the All Too Well short film), and we are loving this trend! While the time-bending storyline kept us on our toes, the ending left us pondering: can you have a happily-ever-after when timelines are this tangled?
Along the way, we explore:
This was such a fun ride, Book Clubbers—get ready to laugh, sigh, and maybe question some of your own dating dealbreakers!

This week, Alicia and Emilie dive into Just Between Us by the JAFF mashup queen herself, Jayne Bamber! Known for her imaginative reworkings of Austen's world, Bamber has outdone herself this time, blending new characters and plot points with the heartache-laden vibes of All Too Well. But there's a twist—this love story gets a happy ending.
Expect a fun, layered episode as we hunt for Easter eggs, pop culture references, and red scarves (you know the one), and unpack whether a little ignorance really is bliss in a relationship. Emilie, as always, gets a little hyper-focused on character communication, while Alicia couldn't get enough of Bamber's skill at weaving familiar Austen themes with new, modern inspirations.
Whether you're a Swiftie, an Austenite, or just here for the sweet romance of it all, there’s something in this episode for you!

In this episode, Alicia and Emilie dive into Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors by Sonali Dev, a modern, gender-swapped retelling of Pride and Prejudice—but with fresh, unexpected twists! Both co-hosts loved how Dev captured the heart of Austen’s classic themes without sticking to a predictable beat-by-beat remake. They discuss how the book thoughtfully weaves in heavier issues like medical ethics in terminal cases, the pressures of family politics, and the emotional weight of infertility—all while still delivering plenty of drama. Alicia especially appreciated how Dev handled these sensitive topics with depth, while Emilie had something to say about guilt’s “tenacious tentacles” and how it entangles the characters (and let’s face it, us too!).
Plus, this book made them both so hungry with its mouthwatering descriptions of food! They take a little detour to talk about how their tastes have evolved over time (spoiler alert: it involves a lot more spicy food and cheese).
Whether you’re here for the modern romance, the family drama, or just the foodie talk, there’s something in this episode for every Book Clubber.

This week, Alicia and Emilie dive into Pemberley: Happily Ever Afterlife by Mary Smythe, a delightful twist on the paranormal! The co-hosts admit they were expecting something spooky, but the book turned out to be more charming than chilling, with playful spirits and a heartwarming (but slightly mischievous) ghostly presence.
Plus, we’re breaking down the joys of reading just for fun (can we stop judging "chick lit" already?), spotting easter eggs, and sharing some of our own ghost stories!
Grab your favorite cozy blanket and settle in for this hauntingly fun episode!

In this episode, Alicia and Emilie dive into The Particular Charm of Miss Jane Austen by Ada Bright and Cass Grafton—a book that feels like a love letter to Pride and Prejudice fans. As we unpack its time-travel plot and sweet homage to Jane Austen’s legacy, we find ourselves on opposite sides of an interesting debate: Is the book overselling or underselling how much Austen’s absence would impact the world? (Spoiler: Emilie and Alicia have thoughts.) We also get into the challenges of time travel stories, and take a fun detour discussing whether ghosts and spirits are real.
Whether you’re an Austen superfan or just here for the silly banter, you won’t want to miss this one!

In this week’s episode, Alicia and Emilie dive into Pride and Persistence by Jeanna Ellsworth—a fun, quirky twist on Pride and Prejudice that sees Darcy proposing to Elizabeth…more than once! After a familiar disastrous proposal, Darcy suffers an accident that leaves him with short-term memory loss, and his first order of business in his confused state? Proposing to Miss Elizabeth Bennet. Again. And again. And again!
Alicia was worried the repetition might wear thin, but she was pleasantly surprised by how the author kept each proposal fresh and engaging. Both hosts found the story cute, but as sometimes happens, their final opinions differ—tune in to see where they each land!
We also get into a side discussion on the double standards society holds for the wealthy versus the rest of us, tying in some current pop culture moments for extra spice.
Join us for some laughs, hot takes, and a bit of Austen-inspired chaos! Talk at ya later!

This week, we’re diving into My Dear Friend by Heather Moll, a charming Pride and Prejudice reimagining where Darcy and Elizabeth exchange anonymous letters through an early version of a dating service.
For Emilie, it’s a You've Got Mail meets P&P dream come true, while Alicia—whose favorite movie is You've Got Mail—was left wanting just a little more substance. Don’t worry though, we still had a blast unpacking our different takes! Plus, we go on a fun tangent about classic movies and pop culture, and Alicia even shares some backstory on how she and Bryce first got together. 😍
Tune in to hear all the juicy details, pop culture references, anecdotes, and more!

This week on The Pride and Prejudice Book Club, we took a fun detour from the books and watched the 2008 mini-series Lost in Austen! 🎬
Alicia and Emilie both really enjoyed this quirky time-travel twist, where a modern-day fan swaps places with Elizabeth Bennet. Emilie especially appreciated how the show took Austen fandom seriously, even while keeping things light and fun. Alicia, on the other hand, loved the humor and lightheartedness—though she had to resist thinking too hard about the plot holes!
In this episode, we chat about our favorite moments, laugh over some of the more outrageous plot twists, and dive into the ways Lost in Austen played with fan expectations. Of course, there are a few tangents along the way!
So join us for this lighthearted, reality-bending discussion, and let us know what you thought of the series!
Talk at ya later!
