Book Summary: Darcy Swipes Left by Courtney Carbone

Courtney Carbone’s Darcy Swipes Left takes Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and sets it in a world where everyone (and I mean everyone) has a smartphone and is completely addicted to using it.

Texts abound, but so do references to various dating and social media apps. Emojis are everywhere, of course.

My review

Not a long 📚, but so very 🤣. Best if you’ve already read Austen’s 📖 🧐so you get the 😂’s. Perfect 🏖 📗.

I spent two decades helping companies like Bell Labs, Juniper Networks, and a genetic testing company that was later acquired by CVS translate some of the world’s most complicated concepts into actionable, understandable English. Now I'm working on a different problem -- helping parents raise the next generation of critical thinkers. The first book in my Caterpickles Parenting Series, What’s That, Mom?, focuses on how to use public art to nurture children’s curiosity in the world around them. My next book will focus on science, and how parents without a science degree can answer their curious child's questions without enrolling in a college level refresher course.
