Fall For You is the first book in the Jane Austen Academy Series, and I must say, that this first one was wonderful, and the rest of the series looks promising. I just love this whole concept, of having these inspired characters from Jane Austen's novels, in a more modern setting, a high school setting, and to have it set at a prestigious school that of course must be named, The Jane Austen Academy. This first book is based on the beloved Pride And Prejudice. I believe that Gray did a wonderful job in writing as she was really descriptive and creative.Aspiring Journalist, Lizzie, and now fellow wealthy school mate Dante [great name for a Darcy :) ] were the characters we focus on, but we also look at a situation that can threaten The Jane Austen Academy forever, with the help of the new Headmistress. I think the conflict and oh yes, the not so friendly vibe between Lizzie and Dante were written and described well. Lizzie, here, seems to not like sudden change, and when she returns to school in the Fall, that seems to happen a lot: some good, and some well, just not. Dante has some secrets, and you may be surprised to what it is, as Lizzie was.While reading, it was a bit fun to distinguish the characters here to the characters from Jane Austen's Pride And Prejudice. This story just has a good feel to it, and I definitely wanted to read more once I was done. This is a great read, and I recommend it! :)
