Good Housekeeping
“Compared to ours, Regency-era plumbing was very bad, and its courtships very good.”
Publishers Weekly
“clever, funny”
Publishers Weekly
“…breezy debut novel.…a winner.”
MSN
“Charming and funny.”
JASNA News
“In addition to being funny, …the historical detachment of Rude Awakenings, although it is set in modern LA, may make it more Austen-like than its predecessor. …Rigler awakens us, however rudely, to the need to gaze upon our present reality as enthusiastically and thoroughly as we do Austen’s world.”
Jane Austen’s Regency World
CONFESSIONS: “intensity, candor and humorous insight”
