NetGalley Review: Ladies in Waiting: Jane Austen's Unsung Characters by Adriana Trigiani

 Ladies in Waiting: Jane Austen's Unsung Characters by Adriana Trigiani

My Rating: ✩✩✩✩✩

This was a delightful mix of short stories centering the world of one of the genre's OG stars: Jane Austen. Featuring stories from Emma, Pride & Prejudice and Sense & Sensibility (so kind of Auten's most-sung stories, but whatever) these twists on auxiliary characters are each clever, romantic, moving and funny in their own ways. Moving through time and across many interpretations of the Austen-verse, each one is a fun taste of the classic we love with the unique style of the author's shining bright. This short story collection is a pleasure to read and will be a hit for Romance readers across the board.
