Pride & Puppies by Lizzie Shane

4.0

Charlotte is searching for her own Mr. Darcy, but discovers that most aloof, arrogant, entitled men don't really have a heart of gold underneath. After her latest breakup, she decides to swear off men for six months and get a puppy instead. Neighbor George—who's secretly had a crush on her ever since they met—helps her adjust to dog ownership. But just when she realizes he might be her perfect Mr. Knightley, she learns he's planning to move back to his hometown, two thousand miles away. Has she lost her chance at true love?

This is an adorable, entertaining book with likeable characters and a strong sense of family. Charlotte and George are perfect for each other. It's pretty clear from the beginning that Charlotte is more Emma Woodhouse than Elizabeth Bennet—it just takes her a while to realize that. The Austenesque aspects of the novel are fun rather than trite.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
