“So, where are you headed?” Maggie asked her fellow traveler. “Upstate to a resort in the Catskill mountains,” she responded shyly. “I won an essay contest and got invited to this Regency-era theme resort for the summer, all expenses paid and ...” “Camp Jane??” Maggie exclaimed. “You’re going to Camp Jane, too?” “You too? You’re an Austen essay winner?” “Most ardently, yes!” They laughed and hugged like old friends. What if you could spend a summer as the Austen character you most resemble in a lush resort setting surrounded by the other quirky characters from Jane’s novels? Maggie Argyle has just that prospect ahead of her. This book is in the tradition of Austenland, a good, clean, hilarious romance. Join a cast of Austen favorites as the winners rally round for laughter, love, camaraderie and intrigue, a summer of pure Jane fun. (From Amazon)
Review:
~I'd like to thank the author for sending me a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!~
Remember when you read your favorite series, whether that be Harry Potter, Lord of The Rings, or Anne of Green Gables, and thought "I wish I could go to that land/world." or something similar? Well, here's that place for Austen fans! And yes, I admit, I haven't yet read any of Austen's works, but after reading this book I'll be giving her books another try. We totally need camps like this in real life! (And not just one for Janeites!)
I loved the humor, the characters, and everything about this book. And plus, there was a little mystery at the end XD
Whether or not you're a Jane Austen fan, this book is for you!
Things I Loved:
-It was well written and engaging
-The romance was well balanced
-The characters were fun to get to know
Things I Didn't Love:
-I really enjoyed this book, no complaints!
In Conclusion:
I loved this book (and I'm not an Austen fan... yet!), so whether or not you're one, I think you'd enjoy Camp Jane!
