"Funny and full of smart ideas, Flirting With Pride and Prejudice is a chick lit feast, complete with saucy appetizers before every bite by the queen of romantic comedy, Jennifer Crusie. ... Among the savory selections: Shanna Swendson's "The Original Chick Lit Masterpiece" makes the convincing argument that chick lit was born a couple hundred years ago." -- Cindy Harrison, RT Bookclub

"Fascinating, sometimes hilarious, reading." -- Kristin Ramsdell, Library Journal

"Swendson makes a compelling case for Austen's Elizabeth Bennet as a chick-lit heroine, a woman who, even as she hunts for a wealthy husband, displays a wry cynicism about the role of money in romance." -- Debra Pickett, Chicago Sun-Times
