Story
Jane is a young New York woman who never seems to find the right man - perhaps because of her secret obsession with Mr. Darcy, as played by Colin Firth in the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. When a wealthy relative bequeaths her a trip to an English resort catering to Austen-obsessed women, however, Jane's fantasies of meeting the perfect Regency-era gentleman suddenly become more real than she ever could have imagined. Is this total immersion in a fake Austenland enough to make Jane kick the Austen obsession for good?

What is real?

This is NOT half as silly as the movie (which I love). However, I watched the movie because I loved this book.
Wouldn’t we all like to visit Austen’s world for a few weeks. But would we really want that for everyday?

Story
In this follow-up to Austenland, Charlotte Kinder is eager to escape the numbness she feels after her divorce. Deciding to get away, she visits the Regency-themed Pembrook Park resort in England, where talented actors set the perfect scene. But with everyone playing a role, it’s hard to distinguish reality from fantasy. So when Charlotte’s heart stirs, she wonders if she’s simply caught up in the experience - or if her ability to feel is finally returning.

Super fun reader! I laughed out loud and found myself talking like her.
This is not meant to be serious literature, and it does not take itself too seriously. If you want to let go and live in a story for awhile, this book will do that for you. Yet still feeling very relatable.
I’ve listened to it many times. Never disappointed.
