Reviews"[A] thrilling romance." - Woman's Day, "WD Picks" "Delightful….Part mystery, part love story, First Impressions is a 100 percent thumping good read and a loving homage to one of literature's most beloved authors. Lovett takes readers on a rollicking adventure that cleverly weaves in the best elements of Austen's novels, while also giving life to Austen's own personal history in a satisfying and captivating way. It's a giddy novel that celebrates books and the people who love them as much as it entertains, making it the perfect read for bookworms and Janeites alike." - Bookpage "A completely captivating and charming book….the author's passion for Jane Austen and his knowledge of printing methods and practices of the 1700s truly make this book a standout. The reader gets a nice adventure story, a little bit of romance and mystery, and a real feel for book collecting and for the author's love of Jane Austen. If it's a love you share, you may well find this book irresistible." - Mystery Scene "[An] ingenious novel….Ardent fans of Jane Austen and lovers of gripping stories will enjoy following Sophie's pursuit of the truth." - Publishers Weekly "[An] appealing combination of mystery, romance, and bibliophilism….An absolute must for Austen fans, a pleasure for others." - Booklist "A delightful read that Janeites will love….[Lovett] adds bookish intrigue to the life of another luminary of English literature." - Library Journal "Lovett's love of books and libraries once again energizes his storytelling." - Kirkus Reviews "Charlie Lovett's delightful First Impressions weaves together two stories: one about a modern young woman who loves books and the other about the friendship between nineteenth-century novelist Jane Austen and a clergyman. The result is an inventive tale with elements of romance and suspense, wrapped around a bookish mystery that will please lovers of old libraries and Austen fans." -Deborah Harkness, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Life "Jane Austen, true love, great books, and a literary mystery of epic proportions: Charlie Lovett packs all my favorite things into a thoroughly engaging story that keeps us enthralled to the very last page. Austen herself would adore the counter-point heroine, the bright and delightful Sophie Collingwood. A pure gem." -Katherine Reay, author of Dear Mr. Knightley "Brimming with charm and intrigue, Charlie Lovett's new novel will leave a lasting impression on lovers of books, literary enigmas, and the eternally fascinating Jane Austen. First Impressions spans centuries, but time ceases to exist as Lovett's riveting story begins to unfold." -Erika Robuck, author of Hemingway's Girl "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a reader in want of a marvelous mystery and lovely literary fiction must be in want of First Impressions . With a deep understanding of Jane Austen and a deft hand at mystery, Lovett strikes the perfect chord between literature and a first rate thriller." -Craig Johnson, New York Times bestselling author of the Walt Longmire Mysteries, the basis of A&E's hit series Longmire, "[A] thrilling romance." - Woman's Day, "WD Picks" "[An] ingenious novel….Ardent fans of Jane Austen and lovers of gripping stories will enjoy following Sophie's pursuit of the truth." - Publishers Weekly "[An] appealing combination of mystery, romance, and bibliophilism….An absolute must for Austen fans, a pleasure for others." - Booklist "A delightful read that Janeites will love….[Lovett] adds bookish intrigue to the life of another luminary of English literature." - Library Journal "Lovett's love of books and libraries once again energizes his storytelling." - Kirkus Reviews "Charlie Lovett's delightful First Impressions weaves together two stories: one about a modern young woman who loves books and the other about the friendship between nineteenth-century novelist Jane Austen and a clergyman.

Excellent Book, but will appeal to the Women readers more than Male.
I enjoyed the book as it was so beautifully written. But I feel it will appeal more to Women readers than men. I still enjoyed it, as it brought back memories of his earlier book "The bookmans tale", which I thought was the best book of that genre I had read in a long while.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
