A Date with Darcy

(Bookish Boyfriends #1)

Tiffany Schmidt (Goodreads Author)

3.71 · Rating details · 2,425 ratings · 555 reviews

Boys are so much better in books. At least according to Merrilee Campbell, fifteen, who thinks real-life chivalry is dead and there’d be nothing more romantic than having a guy woo her like the heroes in classic stories. Then she, her best friend, Eliza, and her younger sister, Rory, transfer to Reginald R. Hero Prep—where all the boys look like they've stepped off the pag ...more

Well that was cute and fun!

I love retellings/reimaginings and of course reading, and this is a lovely book about both! I enjoyed that there was a lot of discussion about literature, and it is my fervent hope that the books in this series encourage teens to pick up the classic novels or plays referenced. P and P is one of my favourite books and I think this was a reasonable and accessible modern YA interpretation of this great novel.

When Merilee transfers from an all girls school to Reginald R. Hero High she thinks it just might be the place she might meet her personal hero. That is, if they can live up to all the bookish boyfriends she's forever dreaming about. Having herself surrounded by actual Romeo's it seems that Merilee might just be living out one of her favorite love stories of all time.

Before requesting this title on NetGalley I was very intrigued because - A book about a girl who loves books? Sign me up for that anytime. So you could say I was very here for this.

'...I want to figure you out. I'm trying to. You're worth the effort. You're worth...everything.'

Merrilee is a bookworm and enjoys reading about bookish romances much more than the real life experiences. Obsessing over the boys she constantly reads about. Not believing that any relationship could be that great in real life. The book had a couple of strange, I'm going to call them 'magical moments' and I found that to be very interesting. It was almost like the books Merri read started to actually manifest in her life. I honestly found it a little weird to begin with and I think that was because the first one was Romeo and Juliet. The fact the protagonist wanted a Romeo and Juliet kind of love story made me cringe because I hate what that play represents and the references to the play almost made me give up reading early on. However I'm very glad I kept reading because all that was actually addressed and I am so thankful for that! If I was rating the book only on the first half I would not have given it more than one star but it totally got turned around and the author managed to surprise me. It was honestly, pretty excellent I'm not going to lie.

'...he didn't go away. Instead he inhaled deeply and said, "You baffle me." The words rich with emotion...'

There is a hint of insta love but I think it worked well with the storyline, at first the reader obviously isn't aware of the whole story so it's hard to push through if insta love is a deal breaker for you, but I would say if you do start reading and find it a little irritating like I did, to try and push through. In my opinion the story in its entirety was very well put together and I enjoyed the way the author took tropes that I usually hate and make me kind of love them. The second half was much more slow burn and there was tonnes more development and a generous size topping of angst. And you know me, I live for angst so I was definitely happy about that. The plot was slow to an extent but that wasn't a problem for me because I still flew through it, and in the places that it did pick up, it wasn't at all jarring and worked well with the storyline.

'My words were embers and sparks; I couldn't spit them out fast enough, but they still burned.'

The writing was very hard to get used to at the beginning, but I think my problem concerning that was that all my recent reads were very fast paced and there wasn't as many small moments dedicated to smaller things not just the main plot and it just took me a while to get used to that again. But I have to say that I very much enjoyed the slower pace.

'...I glanced at him, at his brown eyes that seemed wide and searching, like I was the word that stood between him and crossword puzzle mastery.'

I adored the exploration of the sister relationships and the familial relationships in general. But my favourite thing without a doubt about the entire book was how strong willed the main character is. The instances that she stands up for herself are very empowering and it was great to see a woman take control and save herself, not get saved by a guy swooping in. I mean there are instances of that too but the parts where Merri sticks up for herself were fabulous!

Overall this was a very conflicting read for me, because on one hand I really didn't like the first half of it while I was reading it but now looking back I understand it better after reading the whole thing, and I'm glad I suffered through those first few chapters because the end result made it worth reading. If you're looking for a light read with hidden depths to get lost in, I would definitely recommend giving this book a try. Keep an eye out for it on it's release date: 1st May 2018!

A book about bookish boyfriends that is called Bookish Boyfriends which will probably include a bookish boyfriend to add to an ever-growing list of my bookish boyfriends and that enables me to use the phrase 'Bookish Boyfriends' as often in one sentence as I just did and also has a reference to one of the most classic bookish boyfriends (Mr. Darcy) on the cover?

Probably 3.5 stars.

Two chapters in I was ready to give up on this book. I honestly didn't believe I could read a whole book from this protagonist's point of view. The voice felt forced. The writing was self-conscious. And I wasn't engaged. As I progressed the writing became less obvious and I ended up enjoying it.

A Date with Darcy is essentially a retelling of Pride and Prejudice in an elite school setting. As such, it's pretty predictable. However, from the start I was hoping for a non-Darcy en ...more

Oh. My. GOODNESS!! This book is perfection. I've been a big fan of Schmidt's work since SEND ME A SIGN, and this is Peak Schmidt. The main character, Merrilee, is short, bubbly, and with her nose always in a book, Merri believes in love, romance, and true love's kiss. Which isn't entirely her fault--her parents and older sister all fell in love with the first person they ever kissed, and Merri is looking forward her novel-worthy romance.

But when she starts at a new school, Merri unexpectedly fi ...more

An absolutely adorable read, following a girl named Merrilee who believes boys are better in books. Until those boys start showing up at school and maybe...aren't as great as she believes them to be.

No need to know Austen to love this, though I suspect readers who are fans of Pride and Prejudice will pick up on some additional things.

Pitch perfect for younger YA readers, too. This reminded me a bit of Avalon High by Meg Cabot, and I think there's a nice pairing to be had there. ...more

This is the second book I finished that meets the challenge of read a book with 5 or more words in the title.

I thought I would have enjoyed this way more, but it ended up being kind of boring. Also, the audiobook narrator was not great. I hated her voice for the main love interest, which made all the scenes between our MC and LI cringey.

I will not be picking up the next book in the series.

Who wouldn’t want a date with Darcy?
I don’t know… I was never Darcy’s kind of girl (I think Adrian Ivashkov would suit me better) but I’d still want to go on a date with Darcy, just like probably every bookish girl in this world would. Yet, our main protagonist Marrilee had a chance to really live that dream (and thank God she’s just a fictional character, because so many of us would be jealous of her!).

From what I understood, A Date with Darcy came to life in the most amazing way.

I have incredibly mixed feelings about this book. A Date With Darcy can be fairly easily divided into two acts, the first referencing Romeo and Juliet, and the second Pride and Prejudice, though it can easily be argued that the latter is present throughout the entire novel. The plot follows Merrilee (Merri) Campbell as she begins high school at a Reginald R.

Bookish Boyfriends by Tiffany Schmidt sounded like it could be a fun YA contemporary. I have a hard time saying no to a character who loves books. Unfortunately, the first half or so of this story was incredibly grating, and a lot of that is due to Merrilee herself. As a book lover, I really hope I'm not half as annoying as Merrilee to my peers who don't love reading quite so much as I do. I probably gave my eyes quite a work out with all of the rolling they were doing in the sockets, especially as her English class starts studying Romeo & Juliet and Merrilee begins to think she's found her own personal Romeo - not what I'd call a good thing, by the way. The second half of this story is where things really begin to take off. I'd give the second half maybe four stars actually. I loved Merrilee's wake up call. She begins to grow as a character which was great, and a relief to see actually. By the way, I have to say I think I identified the most with Merrilee's English teacher - and that makes me feel pretty dang old. Finally, I liked the element of the events of the books Merrilee's reading seemingly manifesting into her life, but this totally wasn't that kind at all even though I wish it could have been.

Overall, Bookish Boyfriends by Tiffany Schmidt was a serviceable YA Contemporary that begins to pick up way too late to really overcome an annoying opening. Once it does pick up the pace though I found myself actually beginning to enjoy it. I was pleased to see that our main character actually begins to improve and change for the better as the story progressed. If you like bookish characters that prefer their reading material to the real world, you may also want to meet the heroine of Bookish Boyfriend. ...more

Her best friend, Eliza, was equally great, although basically her completely opposite. While Merrilee was imagination and dreams, Eliza was strictly science. But she is fiercely protective of Merri and loyal to her so you can’t help but like her.

Toby is Merri’s other best friend, and the classic boy next store. Sweet, silly, understanding. I’ll talk more about him later on.

Merri also has two great sisters, and older one Lilly and a younger one Rory. She and Lilly have always been close, but she and Rory have more of a rocky sibling relationship. In a way, it reminded me of my relationship with my sister. They have the sweet sister moments, though, because you can see how the two of them care for each other even though they fight.

Romance wise was where this went a little rocky. It’s basically modeled on Romeo and Juliet and Pride and Prejudice. We get two males in this, and one is the Romeo and one is the Darcy. Romeo (Monroe) is showy and flashy but as Merri recognizes doesn’t let her be herself. I was NOT a fan of their relationship, even in the beginning. Darcy (Fielding) start off basically hating each other, but then they don’t. The only thing I disliked here was it seemed very insta love. One second they’re fighting and the next Fielding is standing at Merri’s locker and proclaiming his like to her??? And I’m sorry, but I’m so rooting for Toby still. I love the Boy Next Door trope. As great as Fielding is. But I have an inkling that Toby and Rory will be a thing, since while Merri’s book was Pride and Prejudice, Rory’s is Little Women. And we all know what happened with that.

(Although to be fair, I also was rooting for Jo and Laurie in that). ...more

I remember being really excited for this when it came out a couple years ago, and then I never got around to reading it! And now I have and when I picked it up I got all excited again and... then I was massively let down sad disappointment. I mean, when it's literally called "Bookish Boyfriends: A Date With Darcy" how can that not be super awesome? How can that not be amazing and adorable and make my bookworm heart super happy? Well, let me tell you how.

Merri is super annoying. Right off the bat from, like, chapter two, she started irritating me. She's boy crazy and lives constantly with her head in the clouds off in dreamland. We're told eventually that she's really smart and has like a genius IQ or something, but I find that very hard to believe considering the only thing she ever seems to think about is romance and fiction and boys. Anyways, she's so obsessed with fictional romances that she makes out with a boy without knowing who he is and declares it super swoony romantic love?

This brings me to my next point: 100% instalove. There are... three love interests in this book which I was not expecting and I really didn't like. There's the boy next door, who apparently has an unrequited crush on her, and they both know it, but she doesn't like him back at all, and the book feels the urge to keep pointing out over and over and over how much he likes her even though it also makes clear that there is 0 chance of them getting together and I was just like... why? If anything it just made Merri unlikable.

Both of the other two love interests Merri actually does like... but I can't really say why. I feel like neither of them really have a personality beyond "Romeo" and "Darcy." To be fair, I don't think the original Romeo had a personality either lmao so maybe that worked? Anyways, all the relationships felt like instalove and I couldn't care less about any of them, really.

This book was also way too long. It was like the first half of the book was Romeo and Juliet, and the second half of the book was Pride and Prejudice, and it almost felt like two separate books and I was like okay enough with this Romeo nonsense just get to the Darcy already. Also Merri was like super obsessed with Romeo and Juliet, she was super determined to have this grand Romeo and Juliet-esque romance, and I'm like... girl why?

Apparently she's super well read and she literally wants to be Juliet. This girl is an idiot. She's like 13, she only knew Romeo for like 3 days, and she dies at the end. Also the fact that apparently all the students read Romeo and Juliet in 6th grade and now they're reading it again in 10th grade because the over the top English teacher is like yeeeeessss welllll liiiive ittttt was dumb doesn't Shakespeare have like 1209320394 other better plays?

This brings me to my next point about the book being a retelling of Pride and Prejudice (and also Romeo and Juliet at the beginning)... a really, really, really weird retelling of it that I did not like. The thing is, Merri is reading P&P simultaneously while her live is mirroring the story... and she's aware of it too, which was a bit too... meta? for me. Like it was straight up creepy. She was like... oh no I'm Lizzy when she's run into Darcy at Pemberly! Next Wickham is going to run away with my Lydia I must get home to Lydia! And then, lo and behold, the Lydia character actually does go off with the Wickham character.

I love retellings. But I feel like retellings usually exist in a world where the original fairytale isn't a fairytale, or at least they're not so on the nose with it that the character literally knows that they're living in it? Like 3/4 of the way through the book I started thinking this would have an unexpected magic element like in Again But Better, especially with the way one character was going like YES this Pride and Prejudice is your story you are LIVING it! So I was like, okay, she's going to be revealed to be a fairy godmother or something weird at the end. But that never happened, this was just presented as a completely normal 100% non magical contemporary?

It was just too weird for me. It didn't make sense, and felt underdeveloped, and mostly just weird.

I guess I did enjoy a lot of the bookish references throughout most of the book though, like how it's too bad snuggling with book boyfriends give you paper cuts, and how one of Merri's friends runs a book blog!! There were some pretty cute moments too it was fluffy at times. I complained a lot in this review, but it wasn't the worst thing; I've definitely read way more awful and also problematic books--at least this book isn't really problematic, it's just bad haha.
