' I am a sucker for anything Jane Austen related.

Great romance, and stuff from Jane Austin which is always great. ' It's a fast read with characters living an Austen story in today's time period. I always love a Pride an Prejudice theme as well! ' - Annette, ' This was such a funny book! It was fun to imagine having a friend who is an 'enthusiast' who takes every interest to the extreme. ' Quick read, very cute, teen romance novel, with some Jane Austin thrown in the mix! ' - Mandi, But otherwise, a harmless and light book.

The narrator's voice drove me to utter annoyance and rage. ' Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice re-told for teens who are not quite ready for the original: a fun and quick read. Loosely based on one of Jane Austen's books. ' Read as part of Stephenie Meyer's TwilghtMOMS book club.

The prep school boys, Parr and Ned, are adorable and the story reminded me of my chaste and sweet feelings in high school.' I usually prefer characters to be a bit more drawn out, but this fit the bill for a quick and cute brain candy story. ' involving and often amusing narrative of friendship, courtship, and (of course) true love.'-Booklist, starred review 'A charming romantic comedy.'-School Library Journal 'Several cuts above the usual fare.'-Kirkus Reviews Jennifer Ikeda's skillful narration perfectly captures both Julie's inner turmoil and Ashleigh's sheer enthusiasm. First-time novelist Polly Shulman has earned glowing critical praise for this funny and romantic tale that even Miss Austen herself would be proud of. But when they set their sights on the same young gentleman, their journey into the world of proper English courtship looks like it might cause a broken heart or two. Their mission is to find their personal Misters Darcy. Before Julie knows what hit her, she and Ash are decked-out in 19th-century garb, smelling like mothballs, and crashing the local all-boys prep school formal dance. Now it is Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, which just happens to be Julie's favorite book. Her best friend Ashleigh, on the other hand, is an 'Enthusiast.' As long as they have known each other, Ash has been obsessed with one thing or another.
