Anne Eliot and Captain Wentworth get their second chance and I loved this second read of this book. I think the first time I read it too fast and didn’t savor the subtle story, but this time was much better! That love letter, it’s the one that all love letters should be modeled after. I’ll definitely pick this on up again!

I'm sorry Pride and Prejudice but Persuasion is now my favorite Austen novel.
