Critics Review
When someone asks for a reading suggestion, Enthusiasm is the first word off my tongue. (Stephanie Meyer, author of Twilight)
“When someone asks for a reading suggestion, Enthusiasm is the first word off my tongue.” –Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight Saga
“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 … delightfully wholesome.” –Newsday
*“Wry [and] engaging … an impressive first novel.”–Booklist, starred review
“A charming romantic comedy!”–SLJ
“Witty exchanges, comic errors and miscommunications that could be taken right out of a Jane Austen novel. Readers [will be] caught up in this debut novel’s romantic whimsy and humor.”–Publishers Weekly
“Equal parts romance and farce, this novel is an enjoyable read. Julie’s wry voice and self-deprecating humor will make the conclusion satisfying.”–VOYA
