I was pretty excited to read this book - it seemed like such a fun idea and a great quick read.

The story could have been great, but in actuality it fell flat. It had it's moments but the characters weren't developed at all which really irked me. Also, the book began and ended very abruptly, leaving me unsatisfied.

As an avid (but not crazy) Austen fan, I enjoyed the references to her work thrown in here and there. I also liked how plot elements were borrowed and modernized to move the story along. But the good didn't make up for the bad...

I feel like I wasted time reading this story, which is a real shame because the idea could have been great in a better writer's hands.
