JAFF recommendation: Unfairly Caught by @bethanydelleman

I really do not like Mansfield Park. But you know what I like? When authors figure out a way to change Mansfield Park so Fanny can be happy without stupidhead Edmund. And that's precisely what Unfairly Caught does.

The love story between Fanny and Henry is delightful. The character growth of both of them felt very believable, and the growth of their relationship was so satisfying. Honestly I felt kind of jealous of Fanny—I want someone to completely adore me and take care of my every need the way that Henry does for Fanny! It was so sweet.

The book does a great job at keeping Austen's style as well. I enjoyed the little references to other Austen works too, like the mention of the Crofts from Persuasion.

The bonus short stories at the end are also a lot of fun. I particularly enjoyed the hints in the first one that Edmund sucks at sex, because yes he for sure does! Luckily with Unfairly Caught, that is no longer dear Fanny's problem.

I recommend reading it!
