Austensibly Ordinary

When she finds a mysterious journal that seems to have a link to the soul of the great Jane Austen herself, she knows it's her chance.

Austensibly Ordinary

And she grabs on with both hands. Before she knows it, Cate has invented an alter ego with an attitude, attended some seriously chic soirees, and gotten tangled up with a delicious mystery man. And she's uncovered enough unexpected secrets about Ethan that her Scrabble partner has taken to brooding looks and unfathomable silences. It's a positively Austenite predicament, and Cate is sure she'll land in hot water and heartbreak--but maybe not with Jane herself to guide her.

The other characters were both funny and memorable. The book is also very, very sexy without getting graphic. The author is really skilled at the slow burn.

For some readers that will be a relief, for others a disappointment. Overall, the writing is good. The dialogue especially jumps out and really gives the characters life. No one thinks that much. Especially not someone who is in the middle of some particularly snappy banter with the guy she has a crush on. There were also a few situations that seemed a bit out of place.

But, hey, once you accept that a magic, advice-giving journal is hanging around, I guess anything goes. They both follow the same structure — single woman finds a mysterious Austen-inspired diary. Cate actually discovers the diary after the heroine from the first book drops it off at a random location in Austin. I was happy to see that, in the end, Cate also passed on the diary to some other unsuspecting future heroine.
