Stuck Up and Stupid

Be swept away on a heartstopping, sun-soaked enemies-to-lovers romance from a mother-and-daughter writing duo and a Hollywood star – a TikTok-ready reimagining of Pride and Prejudice with plenty of crossover potential for fans of Emily Henry and Jenny Han.

One girl. One Hollywood star. A love story that could change everything...

Lily has the whole summer before her – endless days of sunshine and friends in beautiful Pippi Beach. Then Dorian Khan arrives with his party of Hollywood movie stars. Unlike most of the star-struck locals, Lily can only see the celebrities' superficial side. And none is more arrogant than Dorian, the most famous of them all. But as Lily’s and Dorian’s paths continue to cross, she begins to wonder… has she got him all wrong?

This modern reimagining of Pride and Prejudice is full of swoon-worthy romance, sharp and witty humour and Hollywood glamour. Written by acclaimed actor and star of Mean Girls, Angourie Rice, and her playwright mother, this is a funny and relatable YA novel, and the perfect summer escape.
