Jane Austen Ruined My Life by Beth Pattillo

My review

No stars for this book. Poorly written. Cliche. Unbelievable characters. No conflict (a published novel with no conflict!). Why did I even finish reading it? I don't know. I like Jane Austen. I liked the small sense of mystery the book did have. Relied heavily on chain-stores for setting, i.e. Starbucks, Chanell. It's kind of funny to me that a novel all about English Professors would be cliche and poorly written. In certain section they even tell each other that they are being cliche. Did not earn it's moral ending. I wonder if this had been a romantic-comedy video (if a conflict was somehow introduced) if I would have liked it. At least then someone would be paid for the product placement.
