Austenland: A Novel

It was totally corny, but super funny :)

I absolutely adored this book. I'm a sucker for a good romance, especially one set in British regency times and this has the flavor of both. It's a really fast read and I was sad when it was over!

Jane Hayes is a seemingly normal young New Yorker, but she has a secret. Her obsession with Mr. Darcy, as played by Colin Firth in the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, is ruining her love life: no real man can compare. But when a wealthy relative bequeaths her a trip to an English resort catering to Austen-crazed women, Jane’s fantasies of meeting the perfect Regency-era gentleman suddenly become realer than she ever could have imagined. I didn't like this book very much. I didn't like that the old women were basically going to an escort service to get a little romance in their dull lives. I think that Shannon can and has done way better than this.   hide

so far it's funny
