Book #29: Jane Austen Goes to Hollywood by Abby McDonald
I read about this book on someone's book blog and since it got a pretty good review, I thought I'd pick it up at the library. It's a modern retelling of Sense and Sensibility, except this time Elinor, the sensible one, is the younger sister and Marianne, the crazy dramatic one, is the older one. The book opens with their father's funeral, after which they get kicked out of their home and end up moving to Beverly Hills to live in a family member's home. Both girls have romantic relationships, things go crazy, and they both end up happy ever after. (If you know the story of Sense and Sensibility it really goes just like that one.) It was a really fun, cute read that only took a few hours today.
