Elizabeth Bennet is a 23 year old environmental journalist still living with her parents. She has a steady plan to get out of the sleepy city of Meryton and gain her independence. However, when rich and eligible bachelor Charles Bingley moves into the Netherfield apartment downtown and makes a move on Lizzie's sister, her world gets spun around. Her sister gets a new boyfriend in the form of Charles Bingley, while Elizabeth gets a new enemy in the form of Charles' best friend, Darcy. Pompous car company CEO Darcy and Elizabeth seem like natural born enemies, but with a series of run-ins and misunderstandings, it seems as if the two of them are a little more similar than they'd like to admit. 🌱🌿🌱 Matters of Chance is a retelling of Jane Austen's classic romance Pride and Prejudice. It takes place on the American west coast. It features an Asian-American Bennet family living in a small city outside of Seattle. It has very similar plot points to the original, but adapted to a modern setting. However, I don't think you need to have read Pride & Prejudice to read this! The characters are written so that you can do without it. Here's a link to my aesthetic board to get a feel for the characters! https://pin.it/w8qkJa7\ [50,000 - 60,000 words] #1 in prideandprejudice 6/13/2020 ✨ #15 in Romance 10/27/2020 🎃

Elizabeth Bennet lives with her mother, father, and sisters in the English countryside. As the eldest, she faces mounting pressure from her parents to marry. When the outspoken Elizabeth is introduced to the handsome and upper-class Mr. Darcy, sparks fly. Although there is obvious chemistry between the two, Darcy's overly reserved nature threatens the fledgling relationship. #72 on classic as of 6/21/2018 #12 on mr darcy as of 6/21/2018 #30 prideandprejudice as of 6/21/2018 #35 on janeausten as of 6/21/2018 #11 on elizabethbennet as of 6/21/2018
