I knew this would be fluff, but man... (I'll still read the second one though.) I see why they made a movie of this - it's like it was written hoping it would be a movie. That ending especially.

A few complaints about Jane. 1- she's not a fan of Jane Austen, not really. She obviously feels like Austen is a guilty pleasure. Hiding dvds? Really? 2- she doesn't know Jennifer Ehle's name? Again, I think it's all a guilty pleasure, and that she views the 1995 P&P especially as a guilty pleasure. She probably only watches the lake scene... 3- What's wrong with Northanger Abbey? 4- she knows what a pelisse is but not a fichu?

Hopefully the follow up is a bit better.
