There are some sparks between Lizzie and Darcy at first, but they quickly fizzle out once her scholarship status is found out. (Will and Charles attend Pemberley Academy, the all-boys school near Longbourn) Being friends with Jane however does thrust her into the company of Charles Bingley, Caroline Bingley, and Will Darcy. Lizzie understands that she’ll never be accepted into the society of her fellow students and thus throws herself into her academic studies and the piano, where she has incredible talent. Gardiner are the only friends that Lizzie has at Longbourn. Her roommate Jane, fellow scholarship student Charlotte Collins, and piano teacher Mrs. Hoboken native Elizabeth Bennet is the new scholarship student who is tortured on a daily basis for her poor and meager background. It is with this line that we enter the world of Longbourn Academy, an all-girls school filled with rich, privileged, boy-crazy teen girls who have fashion designers on speed dial and have never heard the word no before. “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single girl of high standing at Longbourn Academy must be in want of a prom date.” She takes perhaps the most well known line that Austen ever wrote and adds her comedic flair to draw us in. Her novels have a flare for the comedic which this blogger believes is to her credit, as it shines as one of her strengths. Eulberg has quickly earned a name for herself in the world of teen romances due to the popularity of her debut novel The Lonely Hearts Club. Young adult fiction author Elizabeth Eulberg is back with Prom and Prejudice, her teen driven homage to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.
