A review by onespaceymother
Northanger Abbey by Val McDermid

3.0

This is my first book of "The Austen Project" and given my love for fantasy, satire, and mystery Northanger Abbey seemed like the appropriate place to start. I enjoyed this, truly, but it often suffered "adult trying to talk like a teenager" and referenced Facebook too often. Also, similarly to the original, it feels like a lot of build to nothing. Obviously that is part of the story, Catherine realizes that life is not fiction, but frankly it is boring as a means of literary escapism.
