The Jane Austen Project

the characters and their development felt inhuman and unnatural. I understand people change and adapt as time passes, but it really felt like a completely rushed second half

This book was so much freaking fun. I was unexpectedly sucked in and compelled. Impeccable research on all levels. A surprising amount of wrestling with complex parts of the human experience. A pace that never felt sluggish despite a good amount of time spent in Regency mundaneness. I only wish the romance had felt a more natural.

Very cutesy story with a happy ending.

I chose to read this because I'm a sucker for a time travel story, not because I love Jane Austen (because I don't...), but I enjoyed it more than I expected to!

The romance that developed was fairly predictable, but I still liked it.

I wasn't quite ready for the story to end where it did. I wonder if there could be a sequel?

I read this for the time travel prompt for the goodreads popsugar challenge and thought it was good. To have the opportunity to go back in time and meet Jane Austen and try and work out what she died of and try to fix it is pretty amazing. To actually have it work and having her write an additional 17 books and live so much longer is amazing.
