Welcome to Litsy!

Not the Worst but definitely not the Best Austenesque I've read. Had some fun moments and witty lines. Learned a lot about Darcy era men's clothing. But it did have some cringe worthy moments. "the entire skyline between her knees'. ?

Oh the things you can find on Google. Darcy reenactor in this book refuses to use technology. When I get to the sex scene I halfway expected him to pull out a replica of Jane Austen era condom. Is there such a thing? Hence Google. Which led to article on Literary Condoms: https://www.twincities.com/2017/04/19/independent-bookstore-day-minneapolis-st-p...

"It occurred to her she needed more tea parties in her life. More dancing. More gowns. Less cell phones and computers.
More Mr. Darcy."

I can relate to this: "a strange amalgam of lady and modern smut-mouth. " ?

Boxers, briefs or breeches? Now there's a tagline. Ladies, meet Stripper Darcy

I'm open minded to read anything but this... this was shoddy, poorly written, unrealistic and the use of hash tags in both social and real life moments of the main character was annoying.

Glad to have finished it though; another down for my #MtTBR list

The writing was choppy, there was no real flow. The beginning of the book was lukewarm, but it quickly went downhill from there. The characters were awful. They were unrealistic, shallow, insipid, and had no believable growth. I made myself finish it hoping for something redeeming in the ending. There was nothing. #MarchIntoReading #DidntLikeItStillFinished @RealLifeReading

I got this book in a grab bag at the Jane Austen Festival tonight. Came with really great paper dolls! So I guess I can dress Mr. Darcy again after undressing him.
