Luckily, Elyse has a little help from her sister and her friends. This Emma retelling comes out in August. Liza wants her mother’s approval to depend on more than her love life, but things take a turn for the worse when she finds herself falling for one of the contestants, James Wong. When Mr Bingley is incarcerated, Lizzie tries to convince him that she is capable of solving the murder to prove his innocence, but so many things are against her, including Mr. Darcy, Bingley’s official lawyer.
