Jane Austen Ruined My Life von Beth Pattillo
I had hoped to sympathize with the protagonist because I don’t actually enjoy Austen. The title, however, is misleading. I just couldn’t bring myself to care about anything that was going on here.
I devoured this book. I picked it up at 10pm, and finished it at 1am (I'm tired today). I just couldn't put it down. I really enjoyed the pace, the story, and the imagined life of Jane Austen.
Better than the other book I read by this author.
Two slightly antagonistic sisters follow their dying mother's wishes and go on a Jane Austen walking tour in England. Their goals are: find a place to scatter their mother's ashes, learn to get along better, find love (in Sense and Sensibility scenarios), and figure out what to do with their mother's last unexpected legacy to them: a diary purported to be Cassandra Austen's.
The Formidables, a secret society dedicated to keeping Jane Austen's private stuff private, enter the picture just as they did in the author's previous books.… (mehr)

This was a short, quick read. It was not a bad book, just different from what I was expecting, and didn't leave enough of an impression to make me want to keep it. I thought there might be a bit more mystery and suspense. Instead, the main character accepts fairly quickly that what she's being given is an original, unpublished Austen manuscript. She falls extremely quickly for the Mr. Darcy-like character, who is actually pretty two-dimensional. I would just call it light reading, no more.
