Amazon says:

Bringing together Jane Austen’s most beloved characters and storylines-a clever, playful, interactive, and highly entertaining approach to the wildly popular novels in which you, the reader, decide the outcome.

Name: Elizabeth Bennet.
Mission: To marry both prudently and for love.
How? It’s entirely up to the reader.

The journey begins in Pride and Prejudice but quickly takes off on a whimsical Austen adventure of the reader’s own creation. A series of choices leads the reader into the plots and romances of Austen’s other works. Choosing to walk home from Netherfield Hall means falling into Sense and Sensibility and the infatuating spell of Mr. Willoughby. Accepting an invitation to Bath leads to Northanger Abbey and the beguiling Henry Tilney. And just where will Emma’s Mr. Knightley fit in to the quest for a worthy husband? It’s all up to the reader.

A labyrinth of love and lies, scandals and scoundrels, misfortunes and marriages, Lost in Austen will delight and challenge any Austen lover.

Lost in Austen: Create Your Own Jane Austen Adventure

A few months back, I found a stash of old Choose Your Own Adventure novels in my closet. I tried Prisoner of the Ant People (Choose Your Own Adventure, No. 10), but every time I made a choice I ended up ant food.

    Ha, I found the Jane Austen thing yesterday. How weird, right?

    I do like the rhyming title.

    I just bought this book, and loved it, up until the ultimate "winner" ending.

    Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too?
