Shades of Milk and Honey by Mary Robinette Kowal is a Jane Austen novel with a little bit of magic thrown in. I think it's marketed for adults, but its content is all appropriate for young adults. It's a great book for lovers of Jane Austen or to recommend to a younger reader in your life who you'd love to introduce to Jane Austen. Though Kowal follows a lot of the same conventions and style choices as Jane Austen, it's more accessible because the language is easier for modern readers.
