This one was only slightly better than the Pride & Prejudice retelling Eligible. 
 The beginning was very slow and thus very boring. My main issue was with the characters. The new setting worked well and the descriptions and backgrounds for the characters was fine, but then the author seemed to be trying to give each character equal screen time and thus none of the characters were well-developed and at all interesting. George Knightly doesn't even speak till half way through the book, and his interactions with Emma include maybe three or four conversations. I have no idea why I'm supposed to want this George Knightly to end up with Emma. And Emma doesn't even have her "character development" until the second-to-last chapter, and it's very sudden and random and doesn't seem sincere at all. I just found the whole book boring and hard to invest in.
