After eighteen months and eleven failed bidding wars, 37-year-old Margo Miyake becomes fixated on securing a soon-to-be-listed home in an ideal Washington, D.C. suburb, convinced it’s the key to rescuing her marriage, starting a family, and reclaiming the life she wants. Determined to beat out inevitable all-cash buyers, she inserts herself into the homeowners’ lives—first through harmless stalking and small trespasses, then through increasingly extreme and unhinged tactics. But when her carefully orchestrated plan falters, Margo doubles down, proving there’s almost no line she won’t cross to claim the dream house—and the future—she believes is rightfully hers.
Read With Jenna (Jenna Bush Hager)’s pick:

Summary:
Pride and Prejudice follows the spirited Elizabeth Bennet as she navigates family pressures, social expectations, and her own quick judgments while sparring with the proud—and secretly kind—Mr. Darcy. As their misunderstandings, class differences, and personal flaws collide, both must confront their prejudices and grow in order to recognize the love developing between them. Set against the witty, observant backdrop of Regency-era society, the novel explores themes of pride, class, reputation, and the transformative power of self-awareness.

It seems unusual to see Pride & Prejudice on a celebrity book club – I would have thought they would go for more recent books. I do love the book thought!
Also, the name Alexandrina is fantastic! I remember in junior high wishing that my name could be Alexandra.

I thought it was an unusual choice as well Trish! Or should I call you Alexandra? 🤣

Maybe it’s time for me to finally read or listen to Pride and Prejudice. Maybe that’s why she picked a classic.

It’s the 250th Anniversary of the book Carla so I think that’s why she chose it.
