Meet the Benedettos: A Novel | Katie Cotugno
2 posts | 2 read | 7 to read
The Kardashians meets Pride and Prejudice in this charming comical follow-up to Birds of California, in which an A-list movie star moves to Los Angelesand next door to a family of five eligible sisters. Every family is complicated, and the Benedettos are no exception. A few years after a reality show skyrocketed them to pop culture fame, the five twenty-something sisters are living together in their parents crumbling McMansion, almost broke and teetering towards rock bottom. Their fortunes brighten when Charlie Bingley, the dashing star of Captain Fantastic, moves into the neighborhood with Will Darcy, his best friend from Julliard, in tow. Charlie immediately falls for warm and lovely June, the oldest Benedetto sister. While the Benedettos flighty matriarch, Cinta, brashly encourages the potential match, there are plenty of others determined to steer Charlie away from this ridiculous family of reality show has-beens. Lilly Benedetto, the sensible second oldest sister, is all too aware that her family is viewed as a spectacle. She usually doesnt care what the world thinks because she faces deeper sorrows. And she most certainly does not have the patience for the likes of Will Darcy, a man plagued by his own private demons. Lilly finds Will to be stuck-up, arrogant, and judgmental. Will thinks Lilly is loud, brash, and defensive. And while the two clash at every turn, they cant seem to stay away from each other . . . Katie Cotugno brings a big, boisterous cast of characters to life in this deliciously sprawling Los Angeles storya thoroughly fresh and modern tale about a family thats famous for being famous, the ways that preconceived notions make fools of us all, and how unexpected romance can bloom despite the odds.

This was a great P&P retelling! I am shocked it‘s not more popular. The audio was great, too.
