Jane Austen Goes to Hollywood

(4) YA In newfound destitution after their father's death, sisters Grace and Hallie are forced to reconfigure their lives as houseguests of a distant wealthy relative in the Hollywood hills. Alternating perspectives highlight the girls' differences as they navigate their own love stories. Although details are fit to a contemporary setting, the methodical unfolding of Sense and Sensibility's plot leaves little new excitement for Austen fans.
