Helpful Score: 1
This book is not in Austen's style. Austen demonstrated with wit, the classism and gender roles of her time. The only wit appearing in this book is the sexual innuendo of the title. This novel is a rather smutty 21st century plot, in humor and character development (think housewives on Wisteria Ln. with more sex). The only throw back is the flowery language splashed about carelessly on the pages. The author's attempt at mirroring the Austen vernacular is cumbersome, clumsy and often out of context.
I read 140 pages into the book and decided that my initial perception had been accurate. If you love Austen you'll hate this. If you've never read Austen, think of this as another trashy romance novel with hard to understand language.
