Reviews for Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict
Oh My Books! Review
I was interested in this book because I love some of Jane Austen's novel. It seemed like the perfect book to me, so I bought it last year and only now I decided to read it.
Courtney Stone is a modern LA girl who loves Jane Austen's books. She was reading one of them when suddenly she wakes up being Miss Jane Mansfield in Regency England.
For me it's important to like the protagonists. In this case Courtney wasn't my favorite, but I decided to give her an opportunity because it was hilarious to read her thought about the disadvantages of living in this era, as the bathroom. But must of the time traveling characters doesn't give it a thought, but really, I couldn't live in that era just because of the bathroom.
I only wished Courtney would have been more secure about herself. She was constantly thinking about her ex-fiance and how he cheated on her. I understand it was awful and sad, but I was getting bored with the constant thought about how men couldn't be trusted, or how her body wasn't perfect, etc.
Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict was an easy read, sometimes funny and with lots of references to Jane Austen's books that must of the Jane Austen's lovers will like. I wasn't expecting Jane Austen herself in the book, she appeared only for a moment and she wasn't as I thought she would be.
Overall, I was expecting something different, but still enjoyed it and I think I will read the next one, called Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict. by Maria Guajardo (GABY)
