Helpful Score: 4
Type: {Beach Read: fluffy, mindless, easy to read}
Rating: {An Unputdownable: couldnt eat or sleep until I finished this book}
Why Youre Reading It:
Youre an Austenite (lover of all things Jane Austen)
You love time travel type books
Youre a sucker for a good love story
What I thought:
First of all, Im a total Austenite. Plop me in front of any version of Pride and Prejudice and youve lost me for hours. I was hooked by the blurb on the front cover that told me of Jane Hayes, a single woman living in the city who is obsessed with Jane Austen. A wealthy relative gives her a trip to Austenland (an English resort that is set up as a Regency-era role play getaway). I had fun reading as Jane plunged herself into this new life (for three weeks) full of characters who are visiting and others who work there (ahem, cute men who of course become love interests). Austen fans will be tickled by the references to her books, and newcomers will enjoy a good chick-lit romp through time.
This is the type of book you could read in one gulp. Short, easy, sweet, with just enough romance to keep smiling.
