Megan McKnight is a soccer star with Olympic dreams, but she's not a girly girl. So when her Southern belle mother secretly enters her as a debutante for the 2016 season in their hometown of Dallas, she's furious. After Megan's attitude gets her on probation with the mother hen of the debs, she's got a month to prove she can ballroom dance, display impeccable manners, and curtsey like a proper Texas lady or she'll get the boot and disgrace her family. One perk of being a debutante, of course, is going to parties, and it's at one of these lavish affairs where Megan gets swept off her feet by the debonair and down-to-earth Hank Waterhouse. if only she didn'thave to contend with a backstabbing blonde and her handsome but surly billionaire boyfriend, Megan thinks, being a deb might not be so bad after all. But that's before she humiliates herself in front of a room full of ten-year-olds, becomes embroiled in a media-frenzy scandal, and gets punched in the face by another girl. The season has officially begun...but the drama is just getting started.
It is my understanding, that this is a P&P retelling. Well, I never read P&P, so I won't be comparing it to the original. What I will say, is that I enjoyed this book immensely. Megan was so fabulous. I loved that she wanted to please her parents, while still fulfilling her own desires. She was smart, sassy, and I was #TeamMegan the whole time. Debs are interesting to me, because I didn't know any where I grew up. It's always fun getting a peek into their world, and Dyer did a great job entertaining me at all their deb related events. Tons of fun, great family focus, a feisty heroine, and some drama made this a great read for me.
