Similar, but not as appealing to me as Me and Mr. Darcy, although Hale seems to be marketed as a more literary author. Still worth a read if you like the Jane Austen paraliterature.

DNF at 22%. Frankly, I enjoyed the movie more. The protagonist is an Austen fangirl who seems to reinforce all the worst stereotypes of being an Austen fangirl: obsessive, and ashamed of liking Austen. Miss Charming was insufferable, and overall I just found it boring.

This will be a great book for those Jane Austen lover's. For me it was too romantic what I call ‘mushy'. But it was interesting, and I'm glad I added it to my books by Shannon Hale. Whom I really like.
