Bennet Women

Three close friends living at Bennet house, the only all-women's dorm at Longbourn University, seek the possibilities of love while plotting their futures until their lives become entwined in an unexpected way, in a modern retelling of "Pride and Prejudice."
In this delightfully modern spin on Pride and Prejudice, love is a goal, marriage is a distant option, and self-discovery is a sure thing.Welcome to Bennet House, the only all-women&;s dorm at prestigious Longbourn University, home to three close friends who are about to have an eventful year. EJ is an ambitious Black engineering student. Her best friend, Jamie, is a newly out trans woman studying French and theatre. Tessa is a Filipina astronomy major with guy trouble. For them, Bennet House is more than a residence&;it&;s an oasis of feminism, femininity, and enlightenment. But as great as Longbourn is for academics, EJ knows it can be a wretched place to find love.Yet the fall season is young and brimming with surprising possibilities. Jamie&;s prospect is Lee Gregory, son of a Hollywood producer and a gentleman so charming he practically sparkles. That leaves EJ with Lee&;s arrogant best friend, Will. For Jamie&;s sake, EJ must put up with the disagreeable, distressingly handsome, not quite famous TV actor for as long as she can.What of it? EJ has her eyes on a bigger prize, anyway: launching a spectacular engineering career in the &;real world&; she&;s been hearing so much about. But what happens when all their lives become entwined in ways no one could have predicted&;and EJ finds herself drawn to a man who&;s not exactly a perfect fit for the future she has planned?
