Ashleigh’s current fancy is also Julie’s own passion, Pride and Prejudice, and the heroine’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-boys’ 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 Ashleigh’s isn’t so bad after all. . . .Fans of Jane Austen and Meg Cabot, and Maureen Johnson alike will swoon for Polly Shulman’s charming novel.
Polly Shulman has written about edible jellyfish, Egyptian tombs, infinity, blind dates, books, brains, centenarians, circuses, and cinematic versions of Jane Austen novels, for The New York Times, Discover, Newsday, Salon, Slate, Scientific American, Archaeology, and The Village Voice, among… More about Polly Shulman
“When someone asks for a reading suggestion, Enthusiasm is the first word off my tongue.” —Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight Saga“Enthusiasm, like Pride and Prejudice, bubbles over with romantic misunderstandings and comic confusion.” —New York Times Book Review, an Editors’ Choice book“Enthusiasm has the makings of an instant classic!” —Time magazine“A fanciful romance . . . delightfully wholesome.” —Newsday*”Wry [and] engaging . . . an impressive first novel.”–Booklist, starred review“A charming romantic comedy!”–SLJ“Witty exchanges, comic errors and miscommunications that could be taken right out of a Jane Austen novel. Readers [will be] caught up in this debut novel’s romantic whimsy and humor.”–Publishers Weekly“Equal parts romance and farce, this novel is an enjoyable read. Julie’s wry voice and self-deprecating humor will make the conclusion satisfying.”–VOYA
