"I knew two things right in that moment: Ruby Tate was so much sexier than she realized. And I was completely fucked."

As a librarian and a sport girlie, I RAN to get this, and it quickly became one of my favorites of the year!

Full review: buff.ly/mZKvLBE

OUT NOW.

Top row, from left to right: An all green garden with a cozy cottage in the back; Matthew Macfadyen and Keira Knightley as Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet, respectively from the 2005 adaptation Pride and Prejudice, and a girl reading an open book in front of filled bookshelves. Bottom row: A couple kissing on the side of bookshelves, a guy holding a football on the turf, and a couple in early morning light, sitting on a bed. The man is kissing the woman's hand.
