LOVE LOVE LOVE this book! It's so cute, Shannon Hale, the adorable author, is just as cute as she can be! This book is just fun. I giggled outloud quite frequently and I found myself smiling a lot! Thank you, Rita Bunch, for lending me your delightful book! I love it, it's definitely one that I'm putting on my wishlist.
If you're having a craving to live for 3 weeks in empire-waist dresses and afternoon tea, read this book!
-------------------------------------------------------
This is what it's about: Jane Hayes is a seemingly normal young New Yorker, but she has a secret. Her obsession with Mr. Darcy, as played by Colin Firth in the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, is ruining her love life: no real man can compare. But when a wealthy relative bequeaths her a trip to an English resort catering to Austen-crazed women, Jane’s fantasies of meeting the perfect Regency-era gentleman suddenly become realer than she ever could have imagined.
Decked out in empire-waist gowns, Jane struggles to master Regency etiquette and flirts with gardeners and gentlemen—or maybe even, she suspects, with the actors who are playing them. It’s all a game, Jane knows. And yet the longer she stays, the more her insecurities seem to fall away, and the more she wonders: Is she about to kick the Austen obsession for good, or could all her dreams actually culminate in a Mr. Darcy of her own?

Don't you just hate the morning after hangover from staying up so late at night reading? But isn't it sooo worth it? Sounds like you found a winner and a new favorite thing. TFS
