The Austen Playbook by Lucy Parker
3.0
Being a Austen fan I do admit to wanting more actual Austen stuff. They kept rehearsing for this play that I wanted to know more about.
And as for our characters, hmm, maybe he is price and she prejudice ;)
Freddy is a rising star of the east end, just as her father wanted. To carry own the legacy of his mother. But all these drama roles are just so so, meh. Freddy carried this stupid guilt around and I wanted to tell her to let it go and do what she wanted!
'
Griff is a critique, and he is feared by all. Someone has to say what others do not. You go Griff.
Anyway, Freddy takes part in an Austen mingle play, it takes place at Griff's estate. He is doing a movie about her gran. They meet, they argue, they fall in love. Other cast members cause havoc, family members cause havoc and there is a scandal brewing.
Like I said, more Austen please. Not we got a mystery surrounding her gran instead. And I did not actually feel these two fall in love. It just suddenly happened, chemistry was rather low.
But it was a amusing one and it did not feel US romance like, more Britain romance wise (the author seems to be NZ so I guess that makes sense then).
Narrator
I did like the narrator. She did a great job keeping my attention on things , and she played different characters well. She really made the book better for me.
