" Enthusiasm, like Pride and Prejudice, bubbles over with romantic misunderstandings and comic confusion." - New York Times Book Review, an Editors' Choice book " Enthusiasm has the makings of an instant classic!" - Time magazine "A fanciful romance. First-time novelist Polly Shulman has earned glowing critical praise for this funny and romantic tale that even Miss Austen herself would be proud of. Fans of Jane Austen and Meg Cabot, and Maureen Johnson alike will swoon for Polly Shulman's charming novel. And Julie begins to wonder if maybe this obsession of Ashleigh's isn't so bad after all. There they discover several likely candidates for True Love, including the handsome and sensitive Parr. And so Julie finds herself swept along with Ashleigh, dressed in vintage frocks and sneaking into a dance at the local all-boys' prep school. Ashleigh's current fancy is also Julie's own passion, Pride and Prejudice, and the heroine's quest for True Love. "When someone asks for a reading suggestion, Enthusiasm is the first word off my tongue." -Stephanie Meyer, author of Twilight "There is little more likely to exasperate a person of sense than finding herself tied by affection and habit to an Enthusiast." Julie knows from bitter experience: her best friend, Ashleigh, is an Enthusiast.
