My Review

When I'm With You is the third book in the Jane Austen Academy series.  I have to say that I have not read the other two Jane Austen books before I read this.  I never read books out of order so I am thankful that the other two books didn't have to be read to understand this book.  I fell in love with this book so I am definitely going to read the other two books now.  The story was beautifully written and well thought out.  When I'm With You was a fun, fast-paced read.  I couldn't believe how much time passed once I started.  I was so enthralled with the story that I had no clue what was going on around me.  I love books like that. 

 The character development was great in this book.  I got to see the characters grow as the story progressed.  Kat is a very stubborn character and I loved that about her.  When she leaves with Josh to be his assistant on set.  Josh was a real jerk.  I really tried to like him, but he really ticked me off at times.  Henry was a really cute, quirky guy.  I didn't know how to take him at first, but I really fell in love with him by the time the story ended.  His quirkiness is what made him adorable for me.

I am so glad I had a chance to read this book.  The story as a whole was fantastic!!!  The ending definitely left me wanting more.  I can't wait to grab the first two books to read now.  I have a feeling I will fall in love with those as well.  This book kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time.  I couldn't figure out the true intentions of some of the characters.  I read this book in one sitting becasue I had to know what was going to happen and how it ended.  Great job Cecilia!!!!




Don't miss the rest of the Jane Austen Academy series, where sassy girls, hot guys and Jane Austen collide!
Book 1: Fall For You (Lizzie)
Book 2: So Into You (Ellie)
Book 3: When I'm With You (Kat)

The Jane Austen Academy series are modern retellings of Jane Austen classics set at a beachside California boarding school.

The last thing that the girls at the elite Jane Austen Academy need is hot guys to flirt with. But over the summer the school has been sold, and like it or not, the guys are coming. And it’s about to turn the Academy—and the lives of its students—totally upside down…
