Emma Jane's Guide to Matchmaking the Mayor by Drew Taylor // Review

My Review: 

A cute modern spin on a classic tale, with this charming Southern re-telling of Jane Austen's Emma

This modern rom-com does a great job of capturing the essence of the original story, while making it her own, with a well meaning and charming protagonist, flirty humor, and a good dose of faith. While the references to the classic are pretty on the nose, I think that the author did a great job of taking the inspiration and making it fresh. 

Emma is as much a flawed protagonist as she ever was, but still as lovable despite it all, with her own struggles and challenges to face. I loved how Knightley is always there for her when she needs him and isn't afraid to let her know when she's been shortsighted, but he loves her all the same. 

Overall, such a fun read with a fun political spin to it. An enjoyable rom-com great for fans of friends-to-more romance!


I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
