PRADA AND PREJUDICE by Mandy Hubbard

Although I feel like the main character, Callie, is a little overemotional about not being one of the cool girls and once she's in 1815 England, she seems to accept her circumstances too easily, I found myself really liking the story and what happens to Callie while she's there.

In the twenty-first century, Callie cares too much about what other people think of her and her main goal is to get the cool girls to like her. But once she's living in 1815 with Emily, the Duke Alex and the Dowager Victoria, she learns to stand up for herself, speak her mind and be herself, falling in love with Alex.

This reminds me of THE CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN KING ARTHUR'S COURT or KATE AND LEOPOLD, but with a teen girl. It's a fun and quick read.
