Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict
Book 2 by Rigler is the story in reverse – as Jane Mansfield, a gentleman’s daughter from 1812 wakes up in modern day LA in all its terrifying glory. Unlike Courtney, Jane knows nothing of the world she is now in and must learn to speak like her friends and not to jump out of her skin every time she sees light without candles, tiny people acting out plays in the box in her apartment and giant machines fly over her head. Oh and how on earth will she ever figure out how a car works?
This book is just as funny as the first but for very different reasons. The dialogue is brilliant and seeing modern day living through the eyes of Jane is absolute class – especially when she encounters cocktails and hamburgers for the first time. She must learn to adapt to the new morals of this society where divorce can be a good thing and having sex doesn’t make you a ruined woman. It’s lovely to see her make the most of her new life as she tries to balance work, bills, friends and love – all while continuing to read the new Jane Austen books she hasn’t seen written yet.
Enjoy!
