P&P

But when the mansion at Netherfield Park is bought by the wealthy Charles Bingley, her summer plans are thwarted completely by her insane family. Twenty dollars from her mother is more than enough incentive for Lizzie to investigate (stalk) Netherfield Park's newest owner to see if he's good enough to date one of the Bennet girls. But Charles Bingley isn't the only one moving in - his beautiful, charming-but-catty sister Caroline and his not-so-charming best friend William Darcy are joining him for the summer as well.
