Jane Austen's Guide to Dating by Lauren Henderson
2.0
I was quite a bit aprehensive when I started reading this book because when I picked it up I didn't realize it was actually a dating guide... I know, I know, the book is named "Jane Austen's Guide to Dating" but I can't resist anything that has "Jane Austen" on it so I pick it up without giving it much thought...
Overall, this book was an ok read and I enjoyed the insight on Austen's characters, and the opportunity to look at them from a different angle. I'd never read a dating guide before and don't actually enjoy self-help-type books but I guess the advice given by the author here is pretty sensible and the information and chapters are very well-organized. I did skim through some of the dating advice passages, especially towards the end...
