A modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice. By Curtis Sittenfeld. 2016. A story about Mr. And Mrs. Bennet and their five unmarried daughters in Cincinnati, Ohio. I found it very engaging as I was completely wrapped up in the family drama. Mr. Bennet suffers a heart attack and bypass surgery which brings home Jane and Liz from New York. Jane starts a romance with Chip Bingley, friend of Fizwilliam Darcy. Liz is a writer for the magazine Mascara and is offended by Fitzwilliam Darcy at a party. She soon is attracted to him in a comedy of errors. Eligible is a reality tv series in which Chip Huntley is the most eligible bachelor. As the story continues the whole Bennet family is on Eligible as Jane marries Chip after an misunderstanding. I think the novel is quite humorous.
