Synopsis

“A fun, modern take on Pride and Prejudice.”—Jojo Moyes, bestselling author of Me Before You

In this hilarious reboot of Pride and Prejudice, Megan McKnight is a soccer star with Olympic dreams. When her Southern belle mother secretly enters her as a debutante for the 2016 deb season in their hometown of Dallas, she’s furious—and has no idea what she’s in for. 

Megan’s attitude swiftly gets her on probation with the mother hen of the debs, and she’s given 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. The 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’t have 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. Find out for yourself why this pitch-perfect blend of scandal, romance, and humor is being hailed as the best Austen adaptation since Clueless.

Goodreads review by Wendy Darling on October 14, 2016

2.5 stars Frankly, I'm confused by who the intended audience is for this book. It seems to be marketed as YA and is released under Viking Children's, but the protagonist is college age and the situations (which involve a family ranch, restoring historical places, etc.(view spoiler)[and also having sex/courting som (hide spoiler)]......more

Goodreads review by Nissa | Of Pens and Pages Book Blog on August 31, 2016

2 stars. The thing about marketing something as "the new (insert popular book)" or "a modern day "(classic book)" is that people tend to expect it as such; or at least, people would compare it to the book mentioned. So, I couldn't help but compare The Season to Pride and Prejudice. The Season is She'......more

Un roman amuzant, plin de energie, care are ca target buna dispoziție. Și nu doar atât! Ce pot avea în comun fotbalul și debutul în societate? Pe Megan McNight! O tânără ambițioasă, care decise să-i facă pe plac mamei și să accepte să participe la balul texan elitist și celebru: Blubonnet. O carte des......more

Goodreads review by Amy on March 04, 2016

This "Pride and Prejudice" meets Texas debutantes story has it all: a reckless heroine out to prove something, a hot brooding leading man, beautiful dresses, friendship, love, loss, and loyalty all rolled into a Texas-sized comedy that will leave you laughing, even days after you've finished. Megan......more

Goodreads review by Janet on May 21, 2016

This is such a fun and funny book. It's a fresh way to retell PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (Texas high society and soccer!), with great writing and humor. I loved Megan and her unlikely, unwilling entry into the debutante world. She has such a sparkling narrative voice and a wonderful way of telling her stor......more
