3 - 3.5 Stars - I recommend this for fans of regency era books, as well as comedic present day fiction. If you have seen the movie already - it's a little bit of a toss up... because I think it's less exciting having knows what happens in advance.

This book follows Jane Hayes who is obsessed with Mr. Darcy. Because of her obsession all of her "relationships" were doomed to fail from the beginning. To kick the habit, (with a little help from a wealthy relative) she heads off to Austenland, a regency resort for grown ups. While she is there she mingles with colorful guests, charming actors, and one very refreshing gardener.

I read this as a part of the Semi Charmed Summer Reading Challenge. I had already seen this movie (which is rare for me to watch before reading...) so it wasn't the most exciting read. I already knew the little twists etc. Overall it was light, fluffy, funny, and cute. I recommend it if you have not seen the movie, or if you really love Austen and regency. Either way, it is a very short book and I read it in just two evenings. It helped to read this in between bits of The Cuckoo's Calling... which was dragging on quite a bit at that point. All that being said, I would definitely consider reading more of Hale's books including other books from this series. :)
