Stuck Up and Stupid

"Stuck Up and Stupid" offers a contemporary young adult romance, reimagining Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" with a fresh, funny twist. Set against the backdrop of a sunny beach town, it follows Lily, a local girl who instantly dislikes famous actor Dorian Khan, seeing him as superficial. Co-written by a Hollywood actor and a playwright, the book provides an authentic look at celebrity culture while exploring themes of first impressions, prejudice, and self-discovery. It's ideal for ages 12-18, particularly those who enjoy witty dialogue and a heartwarming love story.

An ordinary girl. A Hollywood star. A love story that could change everything. Pride and Prejudice gets a modern twist from two debut authors who know their material--and deliver it with heart and hilarity. Lily has the whole summer stretched out before her--endless days of sunshine and friends at beautiful Pippi Beach. Then superstar Dorian Khan arrives, with his party of Hollywood types. While most of the locals, including Lily's glamor-obsessed mum, are thrilled to be so close to the A-listers, Lily can't help but see them as superficial and arrogant, especially Dorian, the most famous of them all. But as Lily's and Dorian's paths continue to cross, she begins to wonder if she's got him all wrong. Has she been what she hopes never to be--stupid? Playwright Kate Rice and her daughter, Hollywood actor Angourie Rice, team up to write a teen romance novel from those who know firsthand what the international film industry is really like. Inspired by the ever-popular Austen fandom, Stuck Up and Stupid is for a generation of teens who are definitely NOT looking for love.
