Austensibly Ordinary by Alyssa Goodnight
High school English teacher Cate Kendall is in a slump. She lives in a garage apartment, in cringingly close proximity to her mother, who is reveling in her role as the neighborhood’s resident cougar, and she spends her Sunday afternoons with her hunky coworker, losing at Scrabble while he dissects every male she thinks might have romantic potential.

When an invitation to a stylish soiree sparks alter ego Cat Kennedy, Cate is optimistic that her life is finally poised for a change. It’s icing on the cake when she finds a forgotten vintage diary, left behind at a local taco spot, in which to record her forthcoming adventures. But when baffling suggestions and snarky commentary show up in their place, Cate can’t help but imagine that the advice is somehow—magically—coming from her beloved Jane Austen.

Left to juggle a roguishly handsome mystery man, a cranky coworker with a whopper of a secret, a mother with no discernable filter, and a ghost-hunting best friend, Cate needs all the help she can get. In modern-day Austin, Texas, can “Gypsy Jane” still manage to steer her toward a happily ever after?
