From the Publisher:
Â?There is little more likely to exasperate a person of sense than finding herself tied by affection and habit to an Enthusiast.Â? Julie knows from bitter experience: her best friend, Ashleigh, is an Enthusiast. AshleighÂ's current fancy is also JulieÂ's own passion, Pride and Prejudice, and the heroineÂ's quest for True Love. And so Julie finds herself swept along with Ashleigh, dressed in vintage frocks and sneaking into a dance at the local all-boysÂ' prep school. There they discover several likely candidates for True Love, including the handsome and sensitive Parr. And Julie begins to wonder if maybe this obsession of AshleighÂ's isnÂ't so bad after all. . . . |
Praise
Booklist
"Shulman captures the agony and the irony of Julie's struggles to find her own way as she navigates the conventions of a culture that, for all its twenty-first century trappings, still leaves young women hoping that the young men of their dreams will recognize and return their unspoken affections." 1/01/2006 Kirkus Reviews
"Shulman manages to lift the story above standard fare with clever plotting and quirky, often elegant writing that should please the literary crowd while keeping romance lovers engaged. Several cuts above the usual fare." 02/01/2006
