I really disliked this book so much that I did not finish it (and I am not one to not finish a book). I don't know if that disqualifies me to write a review on it, but I'm doing it anyway! I guess I had assumed that since this was Austen-related, that the writer would approach it in a fairly intelligent manner despite the somewhat silly plot. Nope. I really didn't like the protagonist, and I just couldn't waste my time. I jumped the gun and read some reviews on amazon, many of which indicated a poorly resolved plot intended to pave the way for the second book. Once I found out that there was a part 2 detailing what happened to the other end of the time-swap, I put it down immediately. I knew I was not going to be reading the second book that's coming out, so reading this one was a waste of time.

I think that if you do not have expectations before reading, this is a fine, light-hearted read. But I think it is difficult NOT to have expectations, as it is linked with Jane Austen.
