The Jane Austen Marriage Manual

Tagline: Doesn't every girl wish she could find her Mr Darcy?

My friend sent me this book yesterday and I read it all last night.

It's a romantic comedy, sort of like a modern Pride and Prejudice. I love the Jane Austen themes and how the beginning of each chapter starts with a Jane Austen quote, such as: “Vanity working on a weak head produces every sort of mischief" - Emma (Jane Austen).

It's about a single, forty year old woman who goes on a mission to prove that she can “make a good marriage” in modern times. In other words, she throws her scruples out the window and sets off on a mercenary mission to marry for money.
