Pride and Prejudice

First Impressions: Indulge your inner romantic – a new collection of Jane Austen’s classic novels celebrating 250 years since her birth

With a foreword by Ali Hazelwood, author of The Love Hypothesis and Love, Theoretically

‘[Lizzy and Darcy’s] will be a relationship with a high roasting-to-flirting ratio, and it will be perfect.’ – Ali Hazelwood

Elizabeth Bennet must get married – her family’s status depends on it. But she and Mr Darcy, her suitor, don’t exactly see eye to eye. He’s embarrassed her, she’s snubbed him. As a pair, they’re headed for disaster.

In one of the world’s most enduring love stories, both would-be lovers must overcome their personal pride and social prejudices to allow their turbulent-but-true love to bloom.

Fall head over heels for First Impressions, Puffin’s boldly designed new YA Jane Austen collection. Like all the best romcoms, Austen’s novels are full of meet-cutes, missed connections and drama; they are masterclasses in the lost arts of stolen glances and breath-taking gestures.

With a stunning modern design and forewords from leading YA romance authors, this eye-catching six-book series is an open invitation to escape the brutal nonchalance of modern dating and embrace your inner romantic.
