Book Summary
Northern California girl Charlotte “Charlie” Lucas has two great loves: Diet Coke and Pride and Prejudice. But her passion for Regency classics is tempered by a very real fear: Charlie is terrified of having to endure the fate of her namesake—spinsterhood. Despite her best attempts to maintain a modern sensibility, she can’t say no when an elderly neighbor asks Charlie to attend a charity ball with her grandson. Blind date or not, Charlie is powerless to resist the allure of a real-life ball. Soon it’s clear that she will struggle to resist the charms of her blind date too.
Liam Connell is every bit the swoon-worthy leading man, straight out of Charlie’s daydreams. But he’s completely unattainable—his last girlfriend was a gorgeous actress and a far cry from Charlie’s world. So after a magical evening with Liam, Charlie is ready to get back to reality, even if her best option right now is a former boyfriend who wants to give it another shot. Unfortunately, despite imagining she’ll never see Liam again, he seems to be everywhere. How is a lady to move past a fantasy when life suddenly seems to be imitating fiction to an alarming degree?

My Review
I'm Not Charlotte Lucas was a very cute story. There were many characters to love including the main character Charlie, handsome Liam, his feisty Grandma Vera, and Charlie's younger sister Mariah. Charlotte is not the most confident woman out there. She's had experiences with people letting her down and not acknowledging her artistic talent. The theme of Pride and Prejudice is alive in this novel but it's not a spin-off or retelling. Charlotte (Charlie) is a lady who's looking for the love of her life, her own Mr. Darcy.
Liam is a good-looking guy who has many Hollywood stars as friends and an Ex-girlfriend. You can tell from the start that this confident, and charming man is looking for that special woman in his life. I liked how sincere he was to all of those around him. He also never gave up on Charlie. Even though there were hurdles in the way of their romance, he still was patient and kind to her. I liked the humor in the story especially the witty texts and banter between Liam and Charlie. This adorable romance was easy to read and lots of fun. I am excited to read more from this author.
