Story Breakdown:

Spring Honeycutt is determine to live the life of a sustainable consumer. She has enrolled at Stanford as an environmental science major (holding down three jobs and taken out student loans to do so). She lives the lifestyle as much as possible--wears her hair in braids, shops at second hand stores, is a vegetarian and more. To her, land developers are harden criminals against the environment--the last thing she wants to do is EVEN consider that the land developers side of the story. Per her professor's advice, she must stop to think about the opposition to add the depth to her thesis if she wants to have any hopes of it being published. Enter Henry Knightly III, a land baron's son. Of course Spring and Henry are destined to hate each other--right?

Much to her surprise, Henry and her form an unlikely friendship. They like to debate and can argue each other into a corner, but cannot deny the attraction they feel for each other. Henry forces Spring to look at things from the other side of the equation, just as Spring forces him to examine how things have been done in the past. Through a series of mistakes and assumptions, the two are driven apart and together throughout Spring's junior year at Stanford. When they finally seem to be able to be together, the unthinkable happens. Will the two of them ever end up being able to be together when the time is right?

My Thoughts:

This is a modern retelling of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice but even if you are not a fan of hers, you will fall in love with this story. Set in present day, the characters are your typical collegiate students trying to figure out their way in life and their own opinions.

The characters are fabulous. Spring is a complex, opinionated sometimes irritating but lovable character. She is at the point in her life where she feels that she has to live the lifestyle to really believe what she is advocating. Henry is brooding, equally complex and opinionated but likable guy. Even when you feel like you should not like him, he just could make me smile at the things he said and does.

Those who are familiar with Pride and Prejudice will see the similarities of the story but not so much so that you are bored with it. Spring and Henry still have to get through their own issues and challenges before they can fully appreciate each other.

Definitely Maybe in Love Definitely Maybe series Book 1 edition by Ophelia London Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite classic novels. I've watched almost every televised or film version of it multiple times, and while it's not my favorite Jane Austen novel (Persuasion has that honor), it was the first Austen book I read ​and ​will forever hold a special place in my heart. And modern-day Pride & Prejudice retellings? I am all over that action!

If you are in any way familiar with Pride & Prejudice (book or movies) then you know how this story ​will go down. T​wo very different characters collide, sparks fly and debates ensue. Over time, as the characters learn more about each other, their relationship changes. Walls come tumbling down and a whole new type of spark starts flying. Tried and true formula? You betcha, but that doesn't make the story any less enjoyable. Quite the contrary. The author deftly pays homage to the original ​Jane Austen story ​while ​at the same time ​adding her own unique touches​. The result is a fun, fresh take on a classic tale.

Definitely, Maybe In Love begins with Spring and Henry on opposite sides of what seems like an impossible divide. She's an outspoken, environmentally-conscious vegan and he's the rich, entitled son of a land developer who represents everything Spring stands against. So when circumstances conspire to force Henry and Spring to work together on a project that could make or break her academic career, needless to say, Spring is not a happy girl. She can't imagine willingly spending ten minutes in Henry's company, let alone hours upon hours. But what choice does she have? Her thesis depends on Henry's help.

And so the love-hate, back-and-forth dance begins.

Spring came off a bit too strong for me at first, always climbing up on that pesky soapbox of hers and ruining perfectly good moments. While I respected her passion when it came to her beliefs and ideals, she didn't inspire a whole lot of warm-fuzzy feelings in me.....at first. It took a few chapters for she and I to find our "character-reader groove", but once we did, it was smooth sailing the rest of the way, and by the time the ending rolled around, Spring and I were firm friends. She really is a character worth reading about, and I'm glad I stuck with her so I could find that out.

Henry, now...Henry was great. Maybe I was biased because of the whole Darcy-ish thing he had going on, but even when Henry was supposed to be all prickly and arrogant (especially in the beginning), he never came across that way to me. He was just...Henry. Intelligent, earnest, surprisingly sweet and sexy Henry, the guy who turned all of Spring's preconceived notions on their head and did wonderful fluttery things to her heart (and mine!).

Forget the "maybe" in the title. This is very much a "definitely" book....one you should definitely check out.
Spring she's not one to beat around the bush, "just so you know, referring to someone who loves the planet as a tree-hugger is just about the lamest thing I've ever heard. This isn't nineteen-eighty." Henry I did like him he needed to grow on me but he isn't one to miss a thing, "you did." He slid his hands into his pockets, his posture easing. "You were with two other women on the street, you stopped in front of my driveway and gave my Viper the finger. I watched the whole thing out the window." Henry he's kind of a blunt guy as well, "oh, yeah, umm." Henry pulled himself forward, fingering his chin. "Let's see. Harley-Davidsons, comic books, and..." He raised a lightning-quick smile at no one in particular. "And a certain woman who's not afraid to tell it like it is. Definitely my guilty pleasure number one at the moment." He slowly moved his eyes toward me and winked again. "Oh, and cranberries." Henry he has issues with possessiveness but I think he's just protective, "tell him to leave your house and never come back." I liked this book it reminded me a whole lot of "Pride and Prejudice" just with a modern twist.
This book makes me want to watch Pride and Prejudice again. Followed by Bridget Jones' Diary. Ophelia London once again creates characters that are relatable and flawed. The setting took me right back to my own college days. And the love story between Spring and Henry sucked me in. DMIL strikes just the right balance between Jane Austen and Ophelia London. I can honestly say I fell in love with this book!
