Along with dressing in frocks and learning quadrille (a dance Elizabeth Bennet practiced), Ashleigh decides she and Julie need to find True Love. Suddenly Julie finds herself crashing a dance at the prestigious all boys academy. With little trouble, the girls bump into their very own Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley. Too bad they both have fallen for Mr. Darcy. Polly Shulman writes a dazzling story about loyalty, friendship and love. The book is full of fantastic characters that will have you laughing and swooning as you read!
