The Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict - Laurie Viera Rigler (2009)
This book follows up from the earlier 'Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict', where modern day Courtney Stone wakes up in Regency England, to find herself living the life of a Jane Austen type woman. She has to learn to wear the clothes, talk properly, ride a horse, chase unsuitable men and do her hair without hair gel and straighteners.
In the follow up book, it is Jane Mansfield, Regency woman who has woken up in modern day LA, and must discover the joys of cellphones, modern clothes, cars, airplanes, television, videos and modern morals. I did enjoy the fish out of water senario, but I think it would take the magic of a movie or tv series to express all the crazy emotions someone must feel, being transplanted 200 years into the future.
I did race through the middle bit, and I liked the way the book finished up, all nice and tidy and such. 3/5

seems like a good read! i really liked the tv adaption of the first book, maybe i should give the book a go too? well, maybe not since that first book's plot is spoilt, but this one i'd like to read.
