and Chili-Slaw Dogs by Mary Jane Hathaway (received through NetGalley)
3 stars
Based on Jane Austen’s Emma, this novel follows close friends, Brooks and Caroline, as
they deal with ailing parents, careers and their deepening feelings for each
other. I thought this book was charming
and entertaining with likable characters.
At times it felt like it moved very slowly but it may be because I am so
familiar with Emma that I knew what
was coming next. I liked when they all
dressed in Regency clothes to have a Jane Austen party but that along with the
Civil War re-enactments was a bit much and I am not quite sure the book needed
all of that playacting. Overall, it was
an enjoyable and light read. I received
this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
