Since I read the Reawakenings of a JAA book earlier this week, I decided to reread Confessions, the first book. I enjoyed reading it again but it was a bit too recent -- the suspense was gone. Still a fun read. Not as good as Reawakenings. In this one, Courtney, the modern woman, wakes up in Jane Austen's time. There are a lot of funny moments such as her reactions to the smells of the 19th century. She also meets Jane Austen and acts like a crazy fan. I also like the hidden Jane Austen quotes that appear along the way.
The modern woman reacts to the fortune teller the way I did, even saying that she can't take the "new age" stuff.
I'd recommend these books to anyone who loves Jane Austen.
It will be interesting to see what the author (Laurie Viera Rigler) does for a third book. She ends each of these books the approved Jane Austen way, with a marriage. It doesn't appear that she can write a third with these characters.
