A review by iamnotacentipede
Austenland by Shannon Hale
2.5
So this book took me off-guard; It was charming and funny in moments, though through most of the book I felt like it was a Hallmark version of written work. The main character has a romance fantasy equivalent to a middle school girl with her first romance movie being the outline of her whole love life wishes. (Like seriously, who considers that you are dating someone just because you made out a few times?!)
The ending romance was good, wholesome to some level, though wasn't overly sensible as he was also an actor in the resort she was staying at. I feel like this was a pretty solid 2.5 stars for me (rounded down to 2 stars on Goodreads as I feel like it doesn't deserve the extra points to show a 3 star book). Also, I will never forgive the author for naming one of the ex-boyfriends "Tad"
