“Both pleasantly diverting and sneakily wise. Following in the footsteps of her beloved literary heroines, Agathe discovers a bit about real life outside of books — and not just romance, either. It is a universal truth: Sometimes to unwreck your own life, you’ve got to start acting like you’re the protagonist.”
—Alissa Wilkinson, New York Times (Critic’s Pick)

“A celebration of bibliophilia and cinephilia alike.”
—Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

Agathe (Camille Rutherford) is a hopelessly clumsy yet charming young woman who works in the legendary Shakespeare & Co. bookshop in Paris. While she dreams of being a successful writer, and of experiencing love akin to a Jane Austen novel, she finds herself desperately single and plagued by writer’s block.

When Agathe’s best friend (Pablo Pauly) gets her invited to the Jane Austen Writers’ Residency in England, she finally has her Jane Austen moment … and is caught in a very unexpected romantic triangle. Agathe must let go of her insecurities to decide what she really wants for herself — and to achieve her romantic and professional dreams.
