As a huge fan of Jane Austen, I was very curious about this book, added to that the cover is lovely! I'm happy to say, however, the inside is wonderful too:-) The story follows Anne, a professor who has just learned her ex is her new boss! Anne is eager to achieve tenure, but it's easier said than done and with her ex and first love in her life again, one could forgive her for being a little distracted. Old feeling resurface, but not all of them happy.
This book is both thoughtful and clever and I really enjoyed it. It was a little predictable, but that is difficult to avoid in a retelling. In any case, I would recommend it to fans of Austen or just readers looking for some light, intelligent entertainment.
