Eight years ago, Anne Elliot fell in love with poor, but ambitious, naval officer Captain Frederick Wentworth, a choice with which Anne's family was dissatisfied. Lady Russell, friend and mentor to Anne, persuaded the younger woman to break off the match; now, on the verge of spinsterhood, Anne re-encounters Frederick Wentworth as he courts her spirited young neighbour, Louisa Musgrove.

DID NOT FINISH

i checked this out from the library at the same time i had outlander checked out and i couldn’t finish them both in the amount of time i had.

3.5 stars from me!

It was amazing how modern the book read to me, this is a story that could happen in any time period. It is clear why Austen set the standard and formula for romantic comedies for the next 300 years.
