Librarian and aspiring novelist Harriet Goodson is struggling with writer’s block and an overactive imagination fuelled by her favourite novel, Pride and Prejudice. So when her boyfriend Ethan Pronce proposes in a less-than-fairytale fashion, she answers with a hesitant 'maybe' - still holding out hope for her own Mr Darcy moment.
But Harriet’s world is turned upside down when she wakes up inside the pages of Pride and Prejudice itself as the newly arrived American cousin of the Bennet family. Though she’s instantly charmed by the famously brooding Mr Darcy, she knows he belongs with Elizabeth Bennet... doesn’t he?
As she navigates the Regency-era world with her 21st-century sensibilities, Harriet begins to question what true romance really looks like - and whether the fantasy she's chasing is getting in the way of her real-life happy ending.
