She is from 1813 England, but she figures out that she's woken up in 2009 Los Angeles. She is not even in her own body; she appears to be in the body of someone named Courtney Stone. Courtney apparently hit her head while swimming and she is told she has a concussion and her memory should return. But Jane knows she's not Courtney! How did she end up in Courtney's life!? And not only is Courtney's life a bit of a mess, Jane doesn't understand the culture, the time, the place... I really enjoyed it. I thought it was fun. I read the flip-book, Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict, where Courtney woke up in Jane's body, time and country, a few years ago and I wish I'd followed up with this one sooner, so I could remember more of the other one. I thought it moved quickly and it was fast to read. This is just fun chick lit, in my opinion. ( ) LibraryCin | Apr 1, 2019 |  ) Circlestonesbooks | Mar 27, 2019 |  ) Mishale1 | Dec 29, 2018 |
It is a fun exercise for the modern Janeite to imagine herself suddenly waking up in Jane Austen’s world—her real world, not the somewhat sanitized version presented in films of her novels. This has been fertile ground for novelists, with varying success; Laurie Viera Rigler’s previous novel, Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict, is easily the best of the crop, fresh and smart and more literate than the others. Thus we had high expectations for Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict, a companion piece in which we experience the other side of the body-switch: Jane Mansfield (yeah, we know), willowy Regency brunette maiden, waking up as shapely, blonde, 21st century and decidedly not virginal Courtney Stone. If Courtney, well-versed in Jane’s time from her Austen addiction, had difficulty adjusting, just imagine what poor Jane is feeling. Pertenece a las series

HTML: Laurie Viera Rigler's nationally bestselling debut novel, Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict, took twenty-first-century free spirit Courtney Stone into the social confines of Jane Austen's era. Now, Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict tells the parallel story of Jane Mansfield, a gentleman's daughter from Regency England who inexplicably awakens in Courtney's overly wired and morally confused modern L.A. life. For Jane, the modern world is not wholly disagreeable. She relishes the privacy, independence, even the power to earn her own money. But how is she to fathom her employer's incomprehensible dictates about "syncing a BlackBerry"? How can she navigate a world in which flirting and kissing and even the sexual act itself raise no matrimonial expectations? Even more bewildering is the friend named Wes, who is as attractive and confusing to Jane as the man who broke her heart back home. It's enough to make her wonder if she would be better off in her own time, where at least the rules are clear---that is, if returning is even an option. .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

These aren't spectacular books. They're just fun, clean listens. Reading is a great narrator. If you're an Austen fan, you'll enjoy these books. (
