Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict

by Laurie Viera Rigler

Rating: Great bedtime story for Austen-land dreams.

*spoiler free*

I read this book before bed over a few nights.

After finishing it I feel 3 things:

1- It was an easy read and a fun one,

as I do love the Austen world and throwing a 21st C mind in the mix-
well it certainly can take a bit of the romance out
and make an Austen fangirl think.
i.e. Life before toilets and TP.
Life before modern medicine.

2- Rigler's nose really has clocked some serious Austen-time
She's much better at referencing Austen than that Fowler woman.

The quotes and references didn't over power the story.

3- It was a little like 'Lost in Austen' (which I loved btw)

but different enough that I liked it.

*spoilars!*
*spoilars!*
*spoilars!*

 aka.*favorite quotes*

This quote really stuck with me:

Cray, eh?

Ladies have come so far since then.

And then there is that marriage issue.

{an aside}

  But SRSLY!
If you haven't watched Lost in Austen,
DO IT!
