Not worth the read....Sorry, Sharon Lathan

I picked up MISS DARCY FALLS IN LOVE by Sharon Lathan because it is on the list of books for World Book Night 2014.  I'd heard of authors writing novels in the style of Jane Austen and I've always been curious and intrigued by them; I just haven't had a chance to read one until now.  Sadly, I was VERY disappointed.  This novel is slow, taking forever to get to the point of any scene or detail.  It drags worse than a snow plow full of snow.  I trudged through it, but I was bored and couldn't wait to get to the end.  It's predictable to the nth degree.  Sometimes predictability is ok in a novel, but this novel just takes it over the top.  The euphoria of the young lovers once they declare their love for one another is sickening rather than sweet.  Their eyes shine.  They both glow with love.  Their passion is so powerful, it's overwhelming.  He's so perfect because he checks his passion because he wants her first time to be special and perfect....blah, blah, blah.  Yuck.  Yuck.  Yuck.  Needless to say, we will NOT be asking for a copy of MISS DARCY FALLS IN LOVE for our give-away for World Book Night on April 23, 2014!!!!
