Book Review of Jane Austen Ruined My Life (Jane Austen, Bk 1)

Jane Austen Ruined My Life (Jane Austen, Bk 1)
reviewed Good but oh, the ending! on + 4 more book reviews


The book is a very quick read. I enjoyed the almost Da Vinci Code like plot-- the main character is given the opportunity to read Jane Austen's long-lost letters but only after completing several tasks that take her all over Austen's England. The letters will reveal a long-buried secret. Of course, as she completes these tasks she also forms a romantic attachment to a conveniently hunky guy but that subplot isn't as overbearing as it is in a lot of "chick-lit" books.

The ending though--argggghhh!!! Sooooo unsatisfying and abrupt. Honestly, it tainted the whole book for me. I don't know if I can read it again knowing how it ends.
