At the end of the day, well, I... AM ME!

Jane Austen
Why?
Each block of highlighted text is an anagram (or two) of a Jane Austen novel:
- Mansfield Park
- Northanger Abbey
- Persuasion
- Sense and Sensibility
- Pride and Prejudice
- Emma
And for the title (credit to @Prim3numbah for pointing out what I missed):
Austen isn't quite like Austin (Texas)
