The book is exceedingly funny. It is difficult to imagine a teenage girl writing such a delightful satire with such intentionally odd dialog that many hundreds of years ago. And how easily the story slips from the cute and self-aware satire of gothic and romance stories into a good romance story!

This is my first Jane Austen foray, but it shan't be my last.
