What if Pride & Prejudice was a young adult novel set in Australia and Los Angeles? What if Darcy and Bingley were famous actors visiting Sydney for the summer? And Elizabeth isn’t falling for their celebrity mystique like the rest of her family? Melinda and Stefanie discuss the art of performance, reboots, and striving for authenticity in a world obsessed with image and social media, in Stuck Up & Stupid by Angourie Rice and Kate Rice.
