Why settle for mediocre dating advice when you can consult the queen of the meet-cute? With The Jane Austen Romance Guide for Well-Bred Women, you can effortlessly dispense with rakes, avoid boring suitors,
evade meddling relations, and raise the bar for love like a proper regency-era heroine. Austen's wryly relatable portrayals of courtship and marriage offer timeless lessons for modern relationships:
Don't be fooled by a pretty face. “Varnish and gilding hide many stains.”
Let the trash take itself out. “They parted at last with mutual civility, and possibly a mutual desire of never meeting again.”
Leave them speechless. “If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.” Emily Reed is a freelance writer from Bloomfield, New Jersey, who often finds herself wondering “What Would Jane Do?” in irksome social interactions.
