Pride and Popularity was a pretty good fluff read. However, you really need to keep in mind that it is a fluff read, or else you will be setting yourself up for a lot of disappointment. Here's what I liked.1. Pride and Prejudice retelling. Need I say more?2. All the fluff. I'll admit, this was pr...
I loved this book! It was very light-hearted and clean. Cute, easy read story, with all the parallels to Pride & Prejudice, told in a modern backdrop.
Holy cow this book was amazing. Jenni James has an amazing talent for making readers fall in love with her characters in the shortest amount of time.I cannot get over how amazing Tony Russo is.

"would not" instead of "wouldn't" "It is" instead of "it's", etc. Used correctly, speech patterns like t...
HOly COW!!! Another amazing book Jenni James added into the Jane Austen Diaries. So, I usually have a not good attitude towards female protagonists in books. I usually hate them all, but I usually love the books. But, I have to say that I love Lilly in this book. James did an amazing job at makin...
I guess what I liked most about this book is that you rarely come across a retelling of this fairy tale. You do need to read "Hansel and Gretel" before you read this one because the two are connected. I thought that after all the build-up the ending was a bit rushed, but overall a good story. (Sh...
