Oh how I love the story of Persuasion! This was a fun reimagining! I enjoyed the characters devotion and all the things that were used as ways to showcase the storyline like the classic. The authors writing was beautiful and easy to follow! Love that!

My 3 star review is for the language., why sooo many F-words, there are so many other words to use in the English language and the intimate scenes were way too detailed and took the story down a few notches for me. I feel like Jane would roll in her grave that someone put that kind of intimacy in her story.

Be that as it may, read with that in mind. You can tell when they begin the sex scenes to forward through,, but you can’t cut out the language. I will not be reading more from this author.

Persuasion is one of my favorite Jane Austen's works, it is a story of yearning and second chances, and here it is brought to modern times but keeping the flavor of the original.

Years ago, Anne and Frederick loved each other, until her family and a career choice separated them, leaving both heartbroken. Now his friend is marrying her cousin and Anne and Frederick are thrown together once again. They have grown and matured in the meantime, of course, and Anne is learning to put her own needs before those of her relatives, but there is anger and resentment and their feelings may not be enough to bring them back together.

I appreciated the small changes made to the original plot, as I feared they would not work so well in a contemporary setting. The longing is palpable, the character development is on point, and the romantic moments left a smile on my face.

This book was a wonderful remake of Persuasion. The author modernized the story in a unique way that fit perfectly. She captured the essence of Persuasion but the characters still had their own voice. The book had a couple of continuity errors but they didn’t impact the plot so it wasn’t a big deal it just made a couple of chapters not flow well. Overall, I loved the story and would definitely read more by the author.
The narrators did a wonderful job with the story. I liked the unique way it was recorded with the female narrator doing the whole story but the male narrator reading Frederick’s letters. You feel like you got both voices. The female narrator did a great job voice acting each of the characters.
