This was the selection for book group for November. We picked it last December before it had been published so no one had read it. Although some members of the group enjoyed it, it was too frothy for me. Especially for a book group selection. As a book to read on my own? Borderline fluffy, even for that. I didn't love the story, I thought the characters were a little weird, and I thought the whole premise was strange. I'm not an Austen devotee and I haven't watched P&P with Collin Firth innumerable times, so maybe that's why I just couldn't relate.
I much prefer Shannon Hales' YA books. I think I will pick up The Book of a Thousand Days and see how I like that.
