I had really high hopes for this book, only to be disappointed. It was such a good idea that was ruined by an extremely disagreeable character. Courtney/Jane was really whiney and unlikeable with what sounds like a miserable backstory. For someone who claims to be such a big Jane Austen fan, she really didn't seem to understand the time that she found herself in. I mean, if you claim to read Pride and Prejudice on repeat, I think you should have a clear understanding that those times were not exactly kind to women. Yet, she was overly shocked. If I woke up to find myself in the middle of the 1800's in England, I am sure I would be a little more than culture shocked. But having read Austen's novels, I think I could eventually come to terms with it. This chick just wouldn't give up. I feel like that was really all the novel was about. I was expecting to read a fun novel about traveling back in time and appreciating those times for their simplicity and complete difference from the modern era. But all I got was a rant about women's rights. Which is cool and all, but this was supposed to be a light-hearted book, I think. Too bad. Such a great idea for a book. Although, I did enjoy reading about the various things that go unmentioned in Austen's novels. Like the hygiene and whatnot. I liked reading about those times in a different light like that.
