SAMANTHA SILVA
A RIOTOUS ROM-COM meets a swoon-worthy Regency comedy of manners in this heartfelt time-travel story about sisters, identity, love—and how Jane Austen just might change your life.
Annabel Blake was born in the wrong century. An Austen-loving book nerd, she dreams of being a writer herself, with a just-penned Regency novel to prove it. Her hopes sink when her hot author crush rejects her: The novel reads like she’s never been in love. Ouch.
