A riotous rom-com meets a swoon-worthy Regency comedy of manners in this heartfelt time-travel story about sisters, love, identity-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.
Annabel sees a chance to rewrite it when her ex-pat boss sends her to England to sort out her family's "crumbling old pile" of a country house. Tempted by an invitation tucked in an antique writing desk and a "period" coachman at her door, Annabel's whisked away to a local Regency Society ball-cue candlelight, costumes, dancing-that might be just the inspiration she needs. There's even the achingly perfect-and wildly out of her league-Henry Leighton D'Evercy.
When Annabel's audacious influencer sister crashes the party with her super-chill ex-boyfriend, the unlikely trio wake to find themselves trapped in the actual Regency era. No Wi-Fi, lattes, cellphones-just a world where manners, money, and marriage rule.
As Annabel falls deeply for D'Evercy, she must decide: write her perfect love story. . . or live it.
"Humor and romance keep the pages of this smart, lighthearted novel turning. It's hard to put down." - Publisher's Weekly
"A comical and charming love letter to Jane Austen." - Kirkus Reviews
"Sometime This Century is a novel that scratches every itch: romantic and witty, funny and heartfelt, smart and often unexpected. Quite literally a modern classic, this book will delight readers of high-brow literary classics, but also charm those of us who can't resist a Bridgerton scandal. Like the best Austen novels, it delves into societal expectations and self-discovery, but still goes down like a flute of chilled champagne, passed to you by the most eligible bachelor at the ball. The clever ending had me gripped-and now I'm crushed that it's over." - Emily Everett, author of All That Life Can Afford
