Charming. This was defiantly a pleasant treat! I thought it was a fun story mixed with a lot of Jane Austen references. As the book progressed there was less and less talk of Austen, and although that was such a main part at the beginning it didn’t lessen the enjoyment as it faded into the background.

It's not that I didn't like this book...just didn't care about it. Started it, read the first five chapters or so, and decided I'd rather be reading something else.

I got this as a brainless summer read and it delivered. A typical teenage romance. No swearing or anything else bad.
I enjoyed this love story and the friendship between the girls
This book was like reading a teenage girl's journal. Bleh! But I finished it. Why? Because there was a hint of romance in it and I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff. But then it just ended flat.

Read as part of Stephenie Meyer's TwilghtMOMS book club. Loosely based on one of Jane Austen's books. A quick easy enjoyable read.
