It includes allusions to not only P&P, but Emma, Persuasion, Sense and Sensibility, and even a little Mansfield Park, too. I've read quite a few JA para-lit novels, and this is by far the best of the bunch. I have read all of her completed novels at least twice. I might just check it out again to get myself in a good mood. So yeah it's predictable and fluffy but I liked it a lot. I honestly didn't look for any Austen references after a while. It didn't have as much Austen as I thought it would.
It could all work so perfectly if just one person would open up and make the right move.īut back to the book, I think this was supposed to be a loosely based on one of Austen's books, or maybe a few of them? I'm not sure really but it doesn't really matter. She and Ashleigh are just so loyal and good to each other even though Julie has to fight so many emotions. I think the best part of the book was Julie being such a good friend and Ashleigh is so loyal too. Julie has a few issues but is doesn't completely fall into the same clichés of divorced parents. The family life was done pretty well I think. Through a series of mildly awkward but usually surprisingly fun encounters Julie finally finds a guy who she likes and who just might be into her too. For a few weeks it's a band, then the next it's Jane Austen. Julie has a friend name Ashleigh, who is an Enthusiast who does things to the extreme. You know how you sometimes keep the feel of the book while you're reading it for a while? If I'm having a hard time then there is no way I'm going to read a sad book.
This is probably the reason why I don't read as much deep sad books. I was in the greatest mood while I was reading it and after I finished.
This book is so sugary sweet you could say maybe it almost too sweet.
