Reader reviewed by Sara

"Julie's best friend, Ashleigh, is an enthusiast. Julie never knows what new obsession will catch Ashleigh's fancy, but she does know she's likely to be drawn into the madness. Ashleigh's latest craze is Julie's own passion, Pride and Prejudice. But Ashleigh can't just appreciate it as a good read. She insists on emulating the novel's nineteenth century heroines, in speech, dress, and most important of all - their quest for true love. So Julie finds herself with Ashleigh dressed in vintage frocks, sneaking into a dance at the all boys prep school, where they discover some likely candidates. Maybe this obsession of Ashleigh's will lead to love - but for whom? What follows is equal parts romance adn comedy as a series of misinterpreted messages and super-awkward incidents, not to meniton some rather mystifying poetry tacked to a tree and even a valient foray onto the stage, makes Julie wonder whether she's cut out for enthusiasm - or true love - at all."

I figured that Enthusiasm would be a quick, easy read...and it was, but it was also a very good, romantic, funny read that made me love Pride and Prejudice even more than previously. Julie is a better than exceptional lead character and Ashleigh makes a great love/hate character. The main romantic leads are hilarious and very cute as well... READ THIS BOOK, I mean, if you want.
