~Released: October 20th, 2015
~Publisher: Future House Publishing ~Length: 281 Pages ~Genres: Young Adult, Chick-Lit, Fiction, Humor, Romance IT IS A TRUTH UNIVERSALLY ACKNOWLEDGED that geeky guys never get to date the pretty girls with permanent scowls.
To Elliott Bennett, life is simple. It’s all parties, skateboarding, and arguing over who would win in a fight between Hulk and Superman with his friends. It’s his senior year, and he wants nothing more than to soak up his final year of freedom before real life begins.
That is, until Darcy Fitzwilliam and her best friend Bridget move in to the only mansion in the neighborhood. When Elliot meets Darcy at a party, he finds out that she isn’t into skateboarding (which he lives for), she hates science-fiction (which he loves), and she thinks his friends are a pack of morons (which, honestly, might be half true)—and yet, there’s something irritatingly intriguing about her.
When Elliot’s cousin Jake starts to date her friend Bridget, it complicates Elliot’s plans to ignore the scowling Darcy for the rest of the year. Why is Darcy so . . . ugh? Elliott doesn’t know, but for some reason, is determined to find out—even if she doesn’t know the difference between Star Trek and Star Wars.
 James Ramos was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, the oldest of four siblings. He wrote his first story at age nine and counts Frank Herbert’s Dune as his biggest influence. He currently lives in Phoenix, Arizona, where he is studying English. He is a self-proclaimed “dorkasaurus,” and has a roommate (who is a cat). He is almost never without a sonic screwdriver.Goodreads ~ Website ~ Blog ~ Twitter ~ Facebook
Praise for “That Girl, Darcy”“If you like Austen, then this book is perfect for you! All your favorite characters are here, but somehow it feels like you’re meeting them for the very first time. I adored James Ramon’s That Girl Darcy. It’s a fresh take on a classic and a flawless adaptation that will have you swooning over Elliot like he’s Colin Firth in that one scene. (You know the one.) That Girl Darcy is as addicting as a pop song and even more fun!” ~ Heidi J. Doxey (Author, Liam Darcy, I Loathe You)
“I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend to everyone!” ~ Kflan (Amazon Reviewer)
