Thank you BiblioLifestyle and Harper Perennial for the gifted copy of Meet The Benedettos!  All opinions in this review are my own.

In this Pride and Prejudice retelling, Lilly is both trying to keep her family together while also avoid her snobby neighbor Will Darcy.  

Meet The Benedettos is easily my favorite Katie Cotugno book that I've read.  I love how she not only stays faithful to the Pride and Prejudice storyline, but also how well she writes her characters.  Will's first impression of Lilly is that she is a vapid reality star caught up in her own drama.  However, as both he and the reader see as the book progresses, Lilly is constantly trying to solve her family's problems while she is also trying to follow her own dreams.  The disgust to love romance between Lilly and Will adds tension to the family drama.  I can't wait to see what Cotugno comes out with next!
