The Jane Austen Project: A Novel | Kathleen A. Flynn

This post contains spoilers

#Pemberlittens Ch.18 well “the 💩 hath hitteth the fan-eth”- to borrow a quote from 10 Things I Hate About You. In a world where your connections mean everything, to be found out as fraudulent liars - or even to have doubts cast on your honour - can collapse everything you‘ve spent time building 👇

StayCurious Liam is desperate to get away - like panicky which I found unattractive. And he leaves Rachel! And narrowly avoids a duel with Henry. But at least Rachel gets to say goodbye to Jane, and she gets a copy of the Watsons - if she can get back, mission accomplished. 1y

peanutnine Wow this chapter was a mess! You'd think, again, that they would have come up with a plan if they were found out by Edward, especially since they knew it was coming 🙄 I'm also very curious as to what the state of their world is going to be if they get back, since Jane may live longer now if this blood letting works to improve her health 🤔 1y

vonnie862 @peanutnine I agree. This chapter was a mess! Liam panicked while Rachel acted too calm. I almost wanted to shake her because she didn't react to the seriousness of the situation but instead kept having sexual thoughts of Liam. 1y

vonnie862 You know, maybe Rachel was supposed to go to the past? She has The Watsons now which explains why it's missing in the future. 1y

IndoorDame @peanutnine now that you mention the question about what will happen if Jane lives longer, I‘m shocked Rachel doesn‘t have express instructions not to interfere and cure her even if she does find out what‘s wrong. There seem to be way too many holes in this mission plan! 1y

peanutnine @vonnie862 I've thought this too. It might also explain why her letters to Cassandra are burnt, because Jane didn't want anyone in the future reading them 1y

julieclair @peanutnine @indoordame Calling it a mission “plan” is a stretch. It‘s more like a “wishful rough sketch”. 😂 1y

IndoorDame @julieclair 🤣🤣🤣 1y

peanutnine @julieclair 🤣🤣💯 1y

StayCurious @IndoorDame @julieclair @peanutnine but…they spent time in Preparation- with a capital p 😝 1y

CoffeeNBooks @julieclair @StayCurious 🤣 1y

CoffeeNBooks This chapter... 🙄 What were Rachel and Liam thinking?! What was Liam thinking, fighting with Henry, leaving Rachel behind?! What are they going to do until they can get back to the future? 1y

julieclair #PreparationwithacapitalP 😂😂👍 @StayCurious But really, I think they were fairly well Prepared to blend in once they arrived in 1815, but they were woefully unPrepared to actually carry out their mission. 1y

Bklover @peanutnine @vonnie862 I agree! What a disaster. Rachel is driving me crazy- she needs to get her head in the game. I think she‘s forgotten they had a game plan! 1y

TheAromaofBooks I was SO confused by Liam's weird panic. And they KNEW Edward had sent the letter - what did they THINK was going to happen!?!?!? 1y

Chrissyreadit @julieclair I agree- the unevenness is annoying in the story. 1y

Chrissyreadit @CoffeeNBooks Right??? Like haphazard- I would have thought there would be contingencies for contingencies. 1y

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks I agree about Liam‘s panic. It seemed so out of character for him. 1y

rubyslippersreads @TheAromaofBooks I never could figure out what Liam was so panicked about. What did I miss? 1y

TheAromaofBooks @rubyslippersreads - I guess just that their cover was blown?? That's what I mean, his panic seemed disproportionate to what was happening/it felt like they really should have made a contingency plan because they KNEW Edward was checking on their backstory! Instead, they just ignored it and then freaked out when the letter arrived! 1y
